I am an 8 year vegan who lives in PR! For 5 years I have been researching traditional recipes from here in PR and other Caribbean islands, and translating them to vegan, primarily with local easily-accessible foods (for the islands). I have a few recipes up on my site http://www.carivegan.org and plan to post many more! Besos! Hello! I am an 8 year vegan who lives in PR!

Terribly sorry about that. How is all? Thank you so much for coming by and saying hello from Michigan. Nice to hear from you and for sharing your awesome story. I too want to get into the GREEN drinks, as these are a powerhouse of nutrition. Maybe you can share a "green drink" recipe with me one day. Desde el otro lado, Missy Hola, Rolando:

My advice would be to <strong>scout out any Hispanic shops in the area</strong>, look in the phonebook for the shops and then call and ask. Some carry YUCA and some don't. It's hard to pinpoint an exact shop that would have it, as the few that carry it are small independent places. Have you any Hispanic friends, co-workers, neighbors, etc? Ask them! They shall lead the way. Good luck in scoring some YUCA. Let me know if you do and where, i'll add it to the blog. Thx! Cheers!!! Hi, Lucie:

I'm from Humacao. I have been mostly vegetarian for the past 10 years and in he past couple of years I started experimenting with the vegan diet. I am relatively demanding on my body because I pratice bodybuilding, I play volleyball pretty competitvely, cross country ski and mountain bike too. So good nutrition is essential to me. I don't have time to prepare elaborate meals but I have been sticking to basics with a lot of beans, nuts, greens, fruits and different grains to get what I need to feel great. One of my favorites is Lundberg Wild Blend brown rice with 1 can of organic black beans, 1 can of organic pinto beans, olive oil, habanero pepper powder and absolutely no salt. It may not be 100% puertorrican, but it is my healthy twist on the way I was brought up at home. I'm the only one in my family practicing this lifestyle but I don't push it on anybody and I don't try to judge, but I do get a lot of questions (and funny looks when I eat green oatmeal and green drinks) and talked to a lot of people that are interested but are not ready to say goodbye to their meaty friends. Just wanted to say - Un abrazo boricua de Metamora, Michigan ! Hola Missy, very cool blog. I’m from Humacao.

Our food is delicious and some of it can be healthy and some definitely not so healthy. LoL. But native vegetables from Puerto Rico are versatile, nutrient-rich, easy to prepare, and oh! so tasty. And speaking of sofrito - everyone should know about this yummy seasoning that makes just about anything sprinkled with it - taste scrumptious. I get some at my local grocer. It's great on soups, beans, and even veggie meat. Ay chihuahua - sooooo good. Thanxs for visiting my little blog and nice to see another fellow Isla compadre. Buen provecho!

I am a vegetarian and it is VERY hard to be one in a puerto rican family LOL the cooking is sooo good. B ut with all the good cooking there are many vegetarian meals . yuca as you explained is a popular root that we all love to eat. i live in florida and yes it is in the U.S. we also love cabasa or pumpkin's in our meals. we stew it with beans and herbs and mix it in with the rice we make, also we love chick pea's in our dishes and use them in most of our salad's "yes we make wonderful salad's too " .Olives and garlic are a huge part of our meals we use olive oil in almost everything. and garlic in most of our dishes. we also use what we call Sofrito in our dishes. various herbs shredded together into a sauce mix that we use to saute food and bring flavor to our dishes. i hope i gave a bit more information on some vegan foods from puerto rico :) Hi , my name is john and im from ponce puerto rico .
