From the team at Plant-Based Foods of Canada, we want to wish our American members a Happy Thanksgiving! Did you know that the Wampanoag people at the first Thanksgiving in 1621 had a diverse, plant-based diet? Their "Three Sisters" crops of corn, beans, and squash were central to their meals. As plant-based diets continue to gain popularity today, it's fascinating to see how this ancient tradition aligns with modern trends. What are your thoughts on incorporating more plant-based dishes into traditional holiday meals? Join the conversation by sharing your insights and experiences! #Thanksgiving #PlantBasedTraditions #HistoryofThanksgiving #ThreeSisters
