The purpose of having all six tastes in our food

The purpose of having all six tastes in our food is

to balance the tridoshas in the body,

namely vaata (acidic), pitta (alkaline) and kapha (phlegm).

Every ingredient used in Hindu cooking is classified as per their dosha properties.

For e.g. too much of vata foods such as flat beans, corn, jackfruit, Bengal grams,

will lead to belching, itchiness or prickliness on the skin.

Excess of pitta foods results in giddiness, acidity and imbalance in the brain

and mood disorders. Excess kapha food leads to chills and cold.
