    what is the diet of jain

    3 months ago 64

    Jain diet is strict vegetarian and follows the principle of ahimsa (non-violence).

    In general, Jains avoid:

    • Meat, fish, and eggs
    • Root vegetables like potato, onion, garlic, carrot, beetroot, radish, etc., because uprooting them harms many small living beings and the plant
    • Honey, in many Jain traditions
    • Food prepared in ways that involve violence or harm to living beings

    Jain food is usually based on:

    • Grains
    • Pulses
    • Fruits
    • Leafy vegetables
    • Milk and dairy products, if accepted in that family or tradition

    Some Jains also avoid eating after sunset and follow additional fasting and dietary disciplines.

    If you want, I can also explain the difference between Jain food rules in Digambar and Shwetambar traditions.
