Ayurvedic Foods

Ayurveda classifies foods by their taste (rasa) as sweet, sour, salty, bitter, pungent or astringent. Foods are also classified by their quality (guna) as light or heavy, warm or cool, dry or unctuous.

Some foods are especially valued by ayurvedic healers because they are particularly pure or therapeutic (sattvic) or because they have special nourishing or cleansing qualities.

Our Ayurvedic Foods section introduces you to these special foods--where to buy them, how to prepare them and how to combine them with other foods.
