French term

en version plus végétale

Non-PRO French to English Other Food & Drink Soy-based desserts
Hello,

"Le dessert ABC est idéal pour préparer des sauces légères, réaliser un gâteau au « yaourt » en version plus végétale."

This is a range of soy-based foods, more specifically desserts.
There are other entries for "végétale" translated by "plant"...none of which seem convenient for my context.

I thought that "vegan" would do fine here, but the French has not specified that the products are for végétaliens." Vegetable cake" sounds as if it's made with actual vegetables..."greener" cake sounds as if it's mouldy..

You suggestions are most welcome!


Thank you.

non-dairy / plant-based

Non-dairy yogurt cake probably fits better here, but both terms are common alternatives to vegan, depending on the concept one wishes to emphasise.

Dairy-free would also work well
Note from asker:
Thank you Melissina, I don't think this brand of products labels itself as being a "vegan" brand, so I'm quite wary of using this term. I did think of "plant-based" but not "non-dairy". Thank you:)

Thanks Philippa
agree B D Finch : More plant-based: not necessarily totally plant-based. What is being substituted might be dairy and/or gelatin (present in some yoghurts).

Yes, indeed.

Thanks Nikki
agree Victoria Britten : I'd go for dairy-free: it's very widely used and the rest is inferred. (And it avoids the problem brought up by BD Finch.)

in a more vegetal version

They do not have to specify that this is for vegan people. If the product doesn't contain any milk or animal origin products, it can be vegan.
