Answer

Yes, generally Jains can eat rajgira (amaranth). It is commonly accepted in Jain diet and is also often used in fasting foods.

Explanation

Rajgira is not a root vegetable or a forbidden ingredient in Jain eating. It is usually considered suitable when:

• it is prepared simply
• it does not contain onion, garlic, or root vegetables
• it follows your family or sect tradition

Spiritual Understanding

In Jain Dharma, food is chosen with ahimsa and purity in mind. Rajgira is generally seen as appropriate because it fits within the usual Jain dietary principles.

Takeaway

So yes, rajgira is generally allowed for Jains. If you follow a specific Jain tradition, it is best to follow that custom in the preparation as well.
