T        his summer, while the World Cup craze
                    is on, it seems much hotter than ever.
                    One match after another along with the
                    high temperature in summer makes
           demands for heat-relieving goods keep increasing.
           How can balance be made between health and
           refreshment? What is the perfect cooling down
           dessert? The answer varies as tastes differ. But we
           cannot deny that the latest gourmet trend, vegan
           ice-cream, is definitely most popular first choice.

           What is vegan ice-cream?

               Generally speaking, most types of ice-cream
           in the market are made with milk, eggs, whipped
           cream, emulsifier, essence and other artifical ad-
           ditives and as a result, they’re high in fat, calories
           and additives.  Furhtermore,  with  the  fast  devel-
           opment of modern society, the yield of high-qual-
           ity milk, eggs and whipped cream is far lower than
           our daily demand, and the breeding process costs
           a lot of energy and money. That is why, some peo-
           ple illegally improve animals’ ability to reproduce
           or extract milk so as to earn more from production,
           explotating animals.
               In order to meet the demands of customers
           who admire beauty of a healthy diet, vegan ice-
           cream adopts the handmade process of gelato,
           abandons those traditional ingredients, and
           chooses natural ingredients like organic soy,
           fresh fruits and fruit juice. This will improve the
           flavor; vegetables, fruits and spices also add
           layers to ice-cream taste. Consequently, vegan
           ice-cream not only is healthy, but also contrib-
           utes to  environment and animal  protection.
           People who are lactose intolerant or suffer HLP
           can enjoy vegan ice-cream as well.
           Development of vegan ice-cream


               The fast growth of vegan ice-cream in west-
           ern countries started in 2014 and keeps increas-
           ing. In 2016, vegan ice-cream brands covered
           60% of iced products market. From 2017 to the   Vegetables, fruits
           first half of 2018, giant ice-cream corporates all
           launched their variations of vegan ice-cream. For   and spices also
           example, Jawea from the US which had developed   add layers to ice-
