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.
It continues to say that not eating flesh is a practice more sacred than the most sacred religious practices ever known (verse 259) and that only those who refrain from killing and eating the kill are worthy of veneration (verse 260).
