When The Vegetarian Resource Group intern Odette Olivares decided to try veganism (after watching the documentary, Earthlings), she was a teenager living in Mexico. She bumped into many sites that offered comprehensive information about vegan nutrition, but she still had many questions. Since she knew that many new Latin American vegans might be going through the same situation, she created a selection of the best Latin American websites with information on calcium for vegans. It is completely possible to obtain all the calcium we need from a vegan diet, but we want reliable sources.

     Spanish and Portuguese-language websites were evaluated according to four categories: author and sources reliability; information accessibility; completeness and correctness; and inclusion of Latin American recipes high in calcium. Are you curious to know which are the websites with the highest scores? Take a look at this selection: https://www.vrg.org/nutrition/best_latin_american_websites.htm
