Tips

usage

全素食 ('full vegetarian') ≈ vegan, distinguishing it from 素食 (sùshí) which in Chinese can include eggs and dairy. A vegan person is more often called 纯素食者 (chúnsùshízhě) or 严格素食者. In Buddhist contexts 全素 also implies no 五辛 (wǔ xīn, the five pungent vegetables: garlic, onion, leek, chive, asafoetida).
