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.
