An all-plant diet is minimally refined, including berries, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and spices, though not including beef, seafood, poultry, or dairy, and avoids processed food, according to the dictionary description. Compared to a plant-based diet, there is more space for creativity in terms of what foods are allowed. On a strict vegan diet, anything but honey is usually eliminated, as well as all animal-based items like leather and beeswax candles and goat milk soaps, etc.
