Free Veggie tastings at the Veemarkt
To get the month off to a good start, ProVeg Mechelen is organizing a kick-off event on Saturday, March 1, from 9 a.m. on the Veemarkt. Here you can taste free bites and discover how surprisingly delicious plant-based food can be. This event is made possible by Mechelen Climate Neutral, because eating less meat is not only good for you, but also for our planet!

Together with local hotspots such as Funky Jungle, Cristina’s Kitchen and Kingslize Pizza, ProVeg Mechelen shows how many veggie options there already are in the city. The packaging-free organic store Kabas is also participating with delicious tasters. So stop by, taste, and get inspired!
Why try plant-based?
Besides the fact that it can just be super delicious, there is a whole list of benefits. A month of eating plant-based food saves, on average: ✅ More than 2 animal lives ✅ The equivalent of 520 km of car driving in CO2 emissions ✅ 36,000 liters of water – that’s about 570 showers! Reasons enough to take up the challenge, right?
