Rewe (a huge vegan supermarket in Germany)

If you’re feeling discouraged at all the big supermarkets selling animal products, take heart. There are only a few at present, but the world does indeed have a few all-vegan supermarkets! Let’s take a look, for inspiration.

Rewe is a chain of supermarkets, which has just launched its first all plant-based store. Located in Berlin (the world’s most vegan-friendly city). It offers almost 3000 vegan products from organic vegetables to vegan cheeses and meats, and is situated near good public transport.

The supermarket focuses mostly on fresh fruits and veggies, plus there is a salad anad vegan sushi bar, and chilled aisles for everything from smoothies and spreads to seitan. The vegan sandwiches are made fresh each day, and the freezer aisles contain ice-cream of course!

If buying plants or flowers, read up on pet-friendly gardens to know what to avoid. For tinned foods, rinse/remove lids (or pop ring-pulls over holes) then step on cans to pinch the inner rims together, to avoid wildlife getting trapped at recycling points.
