FAQs
A traditional list of staple grains/pulses and seeds—rice, barley, black gram, wheat, millet, sesame, priyaṅgu, and kuluttha (horse-gram).
Priyaṅgu refers to a grain identified in classical Indian sources, commonly associated with a millet variety (often linked with foxtail millet in later identifications).
Purāṇas frequently preserve cultural and dharma-related details (diet, offerings, agriculture, ritual materials); such lists help define acceptable staples and items used in rites and daily life.
