Ahimsa is an ancient Indian principal which means to respect all living beings and eliminate all types of violence. Ahimsa also encourages us to create peace in our words and our thoughts.

We stand behind this 100% at Ahimsa Vegan Foods!

How long will the meals last if I store them in the fridge?

While we recommend storing your meals in the freezer for optimal freshness, if you choose to store them in the refrigerator, they will be fine up to 5 days.

Do meals need to be thawed prior to reheating?

NOPE! Our meals are ready to pop in the oven or microwave and enjoy! Follow the reheat instructions on the package. However, if you are reheating a defrosted meal, it will require less time to reheat.

Don't want to reheat in an oven or microwave?

  1. Peel the plastic off the tray and add your #AhimsaVeganFoods frozen meal to a saucepan on medium heat.
  2. Add 2-4 tbsp of water (per tray) to the pan, cover and let defrost and reheat for 10-15 minutes, depending on your stove top.
  3. Mix occasionally and adjust heat as needed!
  4. ENJOY!!! 😋

How spicy are your meals?

For spice lovers we recommend our Vegan Thai Green Curry and Vegan Chick'n Rendang. Prefer milder meals? We recommend our Vegan Butter Chick'n, Vegan Palak Paneer & Vegan Indian Korma. All super delicious without compromising on any flavour!

Will you be in more stores?

Yes, we are looking to expand into your favourite stores. Send us an email with the name and address of the retailer you would like to carry our meals.

I'm not vegan or vegetarian, can I still enjoy Ahimsa Vegan meals?

For sure! Adding more plant-based meals into your diet (like our amazing meals) is always a great option. Not only is eating plant-based beneficial to our health and the safety of our animal friends but also a great way to reduce our environmental footprint. Vegan or not, you won't feel like you're missing out with our delicious meals!
