Did you know that we consume more animal products than we might think?
Bread, which is mainly made from grains, also contains animal products such as butter, eggs, cream, and milk.
However, there are many bakeries that sell vegan bread made only with vegan ingredients these days.
More and more people buy vegan bread because it’s not only delicious and easy to digest, but it can protect the environment and animals as well.
Here are some of the most popular vegan bakeries in Busan that are delicious and environmentally friendly.

Heeso

Vegan rice bread is the signature baked item of the bakery called Heeso, which means “Happy Smile” in Korean. As the name of the bakery suggests, the chewy texture of the bread made only with vegan ingredients will bring smile to your face. In addition to vegan rice bread, their brownies, madeleines, and cookies also also popular. However, because their menu items vary from day-to-day, make sure to check the lineup on Heeso's Instagram (@heeso_vb) before you visit the bakery.
