    Can I eat biscoff in paryushan

    12 months ago 98

    Short answer: No—avoid Biscoff (and any packaged biscuits) during Paryushan.

    Why:

    • Paryushan maryādā keeps food very simple: no fermentation/yeast, no outside or long‑stored/processed items, and no “taste-seeking” snacks. Biscuits are factory‑made, stored, and typically include raising agents and multiple processed ingredients, so they don’t fit the spirit of austerity and ahimsa.
    • Eat only fresh, simple, non‑root, non‑leafy, non‑fermented food in daylight; drink only boiled/filtered water within the allowed time.

    Tradition notes:

    • Shwetambar (8 days) and Digambar (Das‑Lakshan, 10 days) both keep food simpler than usual; packaged snacks are generally avoided in both. Follow the specific pachchakkhān (vows) given by your guru/saṅgh.

    Better choices:

    • Fresh, same‑day simple preparations (grains, dals, non‑leafy/non‑root vegetables), or plain fruits if your vow allows, only in daylight.

    For easy guides:

    • What can’t we eat in Paryushan
    • Food items allowed in Paryushan
    • What to eat during 8 days of Paryushan
