Vegan and vegetarian options are now available almost everywhere—whether in restaurants, cafés, or supermarkets. Organic markets now also offer a huge selection of plant-based products. But even many traditional supermarkets have significantly expanded their vegan product ranges in recent years. For many, REWE is one of Germany’s most popular supermarket chains, offering a wide selection for both meat lovers and vegans. In Berlin, the company is even taking it a step further: With “REWE voll pflanzlich,” Germany’s first all-plant-based REWE supermarket has opened here.
What makes “REWE voll pflanzlich” special is that the entire product range consists of 100 percent plant-based products . Instead of animal-based foods, you’ll find more than 2,700 vegan items here, allowing you to do all your weekly grocery shopping. The selection ranges from fresh fruits and vegetables to meat, sausage, and cheese alternatives, as well as frozen foods, beverages, sweets, and baked goods. The store demonstrates that it’s easy to do a complete grocery shop using only plant-based products, while offering a selection comparable in size to that of a traditional REWE store.
The product range covers nearly all categories of everyday essentials. In addition to fresh fruits and vegetables, you’ll find a wide selection of plant-based milk and yogurt alternatives, vegan meat, sausage, and cheese substitutes, as well as frozen foods, bread, and baked goods. There are also snacks, candy, beverages, spices, oils, and numerous staple foods. The selection is rounded out by many organic products as well as items from well-known vegan brands and REWE’s own brands. In total, more than 2,700 plant-based products are available to you.
Right inside the store is a vegan snack bar where you can enjoy freshly prepared food and drinks or take them to go. The menu includes, among other things, a falafel burger, freshly made vegan sandwiches, salads, and vegan sushi. They also offer coffee, various hot beverages, smoothies, and creamy plant-based soft-serve ice cream. This makes the store not only a great place to shop but also ideal for a lunch break or a quick snack.
Anyone looking for inspiration for plant-based cooking will find numerous vegan recipes on the REWE voll pflanzlich website. These range from simple everyday meals to more elaborate recipe ideas and demonstrate just how versatile the products on offer are.
