The Jain cuisine is completely lacto-vegetarian and excludes root and underground vegetables such as potato, garlic, onion, cauliflower, eggplant, mushroom, etc., to prevent injuring small insects and microorganisms. The diet also helps prevent the entire plant from being uprooted and killed. It is practiced by Jain ascetics and lay Jains. [1]
Jains not only abstain from consumption of meat, but also do not eat root vegetables (such as carrots, potatoes, radish, turnips, etc) as doing so kills the plant and they believe in ahimsa. In the hierarchy of living entities, overwintering plants such as onions are ranked higher than food crops such as wheat and rice.

They go to great lengths to minimise any harm to any living organism. Most Jains are lacto-vegetarians, but more devout Jains do not eat root vegetables, because they believe that root vegetables contain many more microorganisms as compared to other vegetables, and that, by eating them, violence against these microorganisms is inevitable.
