DUBAI, UAE, 23 January 2025: Refined vegan cuisine is an important consideration at Emirates, as numbers of vegan customers continue to rise globally, and many non-vegan customers opt for vegan cuisine when flying as a lighter option often considered easier to digest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emirates continues to expand its portfolio of vegan cuisine by workshopping new dishes made with innovative ingredients, such as a lookalike solid egg substitute made entirely from legumes, which packs a tasty and nutritional punch for Emirates customers, as well as adding curated vegan meals for children, and new dishes onboard and in lounges.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Commitment to innovative vegan meals<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marking Veganuary, an initiative highlighting the benefits of a vegan diet for the last decade, a collective of Emirates chefs gather in the Emirates Flight Catering Concept Development Kitchen to workshop new dishes and experiment with the latest innovative ingredients on the market. At the workshop, chefs trialled the new solid egg substitute in a spicy shakshuka sauce. They developed a premade vegan pastry sheet into savoury vegan cannelloni, as well as evaluate some of the celebrated ingredients and high-quality products already onboard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emirates offers more than 300 vegan recipes on flights to 140 destinations worldwide. The extensive menu showcases an array of high-quality plant-based products sourced from global suppliers, like plant-based proteins from Beyond Meat in California, soybean protein from UAE and Singapore brand Arlene, pressed tofu sourced from Japan’s Qian Ye for authentic Asian flavours, organic dark vegan chocolate crafted by Linnolat in France, vegan margarine from Meister Marken in Germany, vegan curry paste supplied by Pantai in Thailand and almond milk from Italy’s Koita. Emirates also emphasises sustainability by integrating fresh produce from Bustanica, the world\u2019s largest hydroponic vertical farm. This farm is a joint venture with Emirates Flight Catering that directly delivers pesticide and chemical-free leafy greens like lettuce, arugula, mixed salad greens, and spinach to Emirates\u2019 catering facilities. Emirates recently introduced individual vegan milk servings onboard in economy and premium economy class, with more than 30,000 monthly customers selecting this option for their coffee and tea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Vegan options are available to order and pre-order onboard, as well as in Emirates Lounges. Customers can request vegan meals on all Emirates flights and across all travel classes up to 24 hours before departure. However, on high-demand routes, plant-based meals are also provided as main menu options.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Emirates\u2019 vegan cuisine in every class<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Serving more than 400,000 plant-based meals onboard every year, Emirates offers vegan cuisine across every class. Last year, vegan meal consumption grew in line with passenger volumes, but in some regions, consumption has exceeded passenger volume growth \u2014  such as  Africa, Southeast Asia and the Middle East. Many Emirates Cabin Crew also follow a plant-based diet, and Emirates has offered vegan meals for Cabin Crew for the last nine years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In economy class, Emirates customers can enjoy dishes like cr\u00eapes filled with saut\u00e9ed carrots and peppers, served with roasted potatoes, mushrooms and tomato concass\u00e9, or curried vegetable puffs and chocolate mousse cake with chocolate sauce and blackberry crumble.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
