Ebony Vegan: Our Name. Our Mission. Our Flavor.
Why Ebony Vegan?
Ebony Vegan was created to bring flavor, culture, and connection to the center of the plant-based conversation. Founded by Chef Angelina Torres, the brand began as a deeply personal journey toward healing—and evolved into a larger mission to reimagine how plant-based eating shows up in our homes, our communities, and our celebrations.
Too often, veganism is framed in a way that feels rigid or exclusive. But many of our ancestors have long histories of plant-forward cooking rooted in resourcefulness, sustainability, and tradition. Ebony Vegan honors those foodways—reclaiming and evolving them through innovation, hospitality, and flavor. This isn’t just about what’s on the plate. It’s about legacy, health, and joy.
We spell it out with pride: E-B-O-N-Y stands for our core commitments:
Empower individuals and families to reclaim wellness through delicious, intentional food.
Bridge the understanding between health, heritage, and flavor.
Offer accessible, culturally rich plant-based meals that reflect how we love to eat.
Nurture our communities, our environment, and our stories.
Yield a future where food reflects who we are—and where we’re going.
Why Vegan?
At Ebony Vegan, we believe plant-based eating isn’t about restriction—it’s about expansion.
It’s about bringing more to the table: more flavor, more creativity, more culture. We don’t see veganism as a rigid lifestyle. We see it as a space for honoring our roots while nourishing our future.
This isn’t a movement of exclusion. It’s an invitation—to experience food that heals, celebrates, and connects. Whether you’re plant-curious, plant-committed, or somewhere in between, we welcome you.
Our Approach: V-E-G-A-N
Our work is rooted in intention, not perfection. Here’s what V-E-G-A-N means to us:
Value – We value health, history, and the flavors that raised us.
Elevate – We elevate plant-based eating by making it craveable, creative, and soulful.
Gather – We gather people through food—at our tables, in our kitchens, and at every celebration.
Appreciate – We appreciate every step of the journey, and every culture it touches.
Normalize – We normalize nourishing, plant-based meals that feel familiar, joyful, and real.
This Is More Than a Meal
Ebony Vegan is here to feed people, not to preach to them. We create space where food reflects who we are—where flavor meets intention, and where every dish tells a story.
This is plant-based eating rooted in heritage, built with love, and shared with everyone.
For us. With us. For all.
