Jain Food

With unique vegetarianism, Jain followers have been facing a major problem ordering Jain food in train. The Jain cuisine is completely vegan and excludes consumption of food items which are produced buried under the earth such as onion, brinjal, garlic etc. Such food is very much sattvic. As per Jain texts, a sravaska (householder) shouldn’t consume wine, flesh, honey and five udumbara fruits (Gular, Anjeera, Banyan, Peepal & Pakar).

What’s the rationale behind non-consumption of all the aforementioned items?

Root vegetables are basically storage organs of the plants and are specifically modified for storage of energy or water. Such underground areas help in survival of many living organisms present surrounding such roots.

Here are 8 things one should care about while ordering Jain food in train:

  • Raw Food Items: Avoid consuming anything raw from food vendors as they might contain traces of earthed food items which are prohibited in Jain foods.
  • Food Speciality: Check with e caterers whether they offer food specialities or not. Rilrestro offers food specialities across 6000+ trains across India.
