There are approximately 600,000 vegans in the UK, according to Statista, and this number is rising significantly each year. For those not aware, vegans don\u2019t eat anything that\u2019s animal derived. This includes meat, milk, eggs, and even honey.<\/p>

The UK market is worth more than 500 million euros (\u00a3416 million), so companies are working fast to create plant-based products that are as good as (if not better than) meat. Here are some vegan companies that you can invest in, and some information on how to invest in vegan stocks.<\/p>

What are vegan stocks?<\/h3>

Vegan stocks are the shares of companies that contribute in some way to the vegan industry \u2014 typically food manufacturers. Some of these companies have innovated in the industry by creating products that have the same texture or taste as meat products. In other cases, they might have simply created delicious food products that don\u2019t contain any animal-derived products.<\/p>
