Ayurvedic Food Wisdom

Discover the ancient wisdom behind every food you eat. GunaFood classifies 433+ foods as Sattvic (pure), Rajasic (stimulating), or Tamasic (heavy) based on classical Ayurvedic and Yogic texts -- and tells you the best time to eat each one.

Ever wondered why certain foods make you feel calm and focused, while others leave you restless or sluggish? The ancient Ayurvedic tradition has answers. The three Gunas -- Sattvic, Rajasic, and Tamasic -- describe the fundamental qualities of every food and their effects on your mind, body, and spirit.

WHAT YOU CAN DO:

• Search any food and instantly see its Guna classification
• Learn why each food is classified the way it is, with citations from the Bhagavad Gita, Charaka Samhita, and other classical texts
• See the best times to eat each food (before meditation, after workout, evening meal...) and when to avoid it
• Explore how preparation methods change a food's Guna
• Browse educational guides for each Guna quality
• Discover seasonal eating wisdom from the Ayurvedic calendar (Ritucharya)
• Save your favorite foods for quick reference

DATABASE:
