Concept 1 of 4

Plant and animal sources

Most food has either a plant or animal source.

Plants: wheat (roti), rice, fruits, vegetables, lentils, oil from seeds, sugar from cane.
Animals: milk, curd, ghee, butter, eggs, meat, honey (bees collect from plants but make it).

Example

A masala dosa: rice + lentils (plants) + ghee (animal) + potato + spices (plants).

💡 Tip:Pure vegetarians eat only plant-source food (and eggs/dairy depending on definition).
