Jainism are strict vegetarians and their principle belief is ahimsa (non-violence). Due to
which they abstain from eating any kind of meat. Also, in order to avoid causing harm to
the insects and micro-organisms in the soil, their diet does not even incorporate foods

Beetroot, Yam, Ginger, Groundnut, Carrot, Radish, Cabbage, Cauliflower, Mushroom, etc.
