Whether this is your first Easter as a vegan or you’re a veteran of animal product eschewal, there is absolutely no need to go egg-less in your commitment to the cause. In 2020 alone, the number of people turning vegan rose by some 40 per cent, delivering it from a fringe concern into the mainstream.

And, as with all consumer-led trends, where there is demand, supply will always be swift to plug the gaps: there are now a plethora of chocolatiers, from the high-end to the high street, making vegan-friendly sweet treats for our delectation. All of which means that nobody needs to sit out rounds of hunting for eggs around the garden this year – or ever.

Baskets at the ready: these are the ones to unearth amid the veg patch.
