Ayurvedic food – holistic nutrition for body and mind

Ayurvedic cuisine is based on the ancient Indian healing art of Ayurveda and aims to promote the balance of the three doshas – Vata, Pitta, and Kapha – through balanced meals. Each dish is carefully prepared to not only nourish the body, but also calm the mind and increase inner well-being.

Basic principles of Ayurvedic nutrition

• Type-appropriate nutrition – adapting foods to the individual dosha type.
• Six flavors – integration of sweet, sour, salty, spicy, bitter, and astringent into every meal.
• Fresh and seasonal ingredients – use regional and seasonal foods.
• Warm and cooked foods – promoting digestive power (Agni) through easily digestible dishes.
• Mindful eating – preparing and enjoying meals with awareness.

Popular Ayurvedic dishes

• Khichari – A simple dish made from rice and mung beans that is easy to digest and helps detoxify the body.
