Can jains eat leaves of radish
Yes, radish leaves (mooli ke patte) are generally allowed for Jains, because they are leafy vegetables, not root vegetables.
In Jain diet:
- Radish root is not allowed because it is a kand-mool / root vegetable.
- Radish leaves are usually considered acceptable.
However, some very strict observances may avoid them if:
- the whole plant is uprooted,
- or the leaves are taken in a way that causes extra harm to the plant.
So, in सामान्य Jain practice:
- Radish leaves: allowed
- Radish root: not allowed
If you want, I can also give a simple Jain list of allowed and disallowed vegetables.
