🌿 What “WFPB” (whole food plant-based) means here

Whole-food plant-based = mostly plants in their basic form:
Vegetables • fruit • beans • lentils • whole grains • potatoes • nuts • seeds • herbs • spices

🫒 By default, whole food plant-based recipes may include small amounts of oil for practical cooking.

🧰 Mildly processed helpers we allow

Tofu/tempeh; fermented foods (miso/kimchi/sauerkraut)
Tinned beans/tomatoes; oats; tahini
Nut butters (100% nuts); plant milks with short ingredient lists

🔒 Want it stricter (including no oil)? Turn on Strict WFPB in the recipe settings.

🎚️ The Safe ↔ Crazy slider

You steer with + and –. Safe stays with familiar, reliable combinations. Crazy reaches for the unexpected. Neither is wrong — the whole food plant-based journey is an adventure either way. Treat every recipe as a starting point: taste, adapt, and make it yours.
