Designed to help restore the balance of “dosha”, a suitable Ayurvedic diet should be developed according to an individual’s “prakriti”. Accordingly there are six tastes within such nutritional practices each with different qualities. For example food with an astringent taste such as apples, beans and cabbage are known to increase vata and decrease pitta and kapha. On the other hand foods with a salt taste decrease vata and increases pitta and kapha. Likewise bitter, pungent, sour and sweet foods all have various effects on one’s “being” and help bring about balance.
