Vegetarian food products ad
From an ad for a range of vegetarian food products; occurs as 'die pflanzliche Abwechslung zu X', 'pflanzliche Ernährung', etc. At first, I thought 'pflanzlich' could be best translated as 'vegetable-based', but now I'm wondering if that's accurate - the products are not just vegetable-based, but contain vegetables only. Just 'vegetable' as an adjective (e.g. 'vegetable diet') doesn't sound right, nor does 'vegetarian' (I think!).

"Vegetable diet" gets 14,000 google hits so it seems perfectly alright ;-)

Here some supporting google hits:

Effects of eating an uncooked **vegetable diet** for 1 week
http://www.cspinet.org/nah/dash.htm
The \"fruit and vegetable\" diet matched the control diet in fat, saturated fat, cholesterol, and protein. The only difference: Potassium, magnesium, and fiber got a boost when fruits and vegetables replaced some snacks and sweets.
http://www.cruciblefitness.com/nutrition/etips/DASH.htm
A second group ate a diet that provided about 8 servings of fruit and vegetables a day (the fruit/**vegetable diet**).
Perhaps also:
a predominantly vegetable diet
a largely vegetable diet
an exclusively vegetable diet
(depending on context)

vegan
A diet that excludes any animal-derived ingredients is called a vegan diet. Is this what you are looking for?

: 'vegan' is quite specific - I'd go for 'from vegetable sources'
