Question

Give a reason as to why the food culture in different regions of our country is different.

Answer 1

Food habits:

1. The food habit depends on the availability of the type of food in a specific region.
2. The climatic condition and soil differs in the different regions of the country and hence the staple crops differ with it.
3. Examples: wheat is the staple food crop among the states of northern India, but in eastern and southern India rice is the staple crop.
4. This is why people from northern India consume more chapati and paratha, while the people from eastern and southern India consume rice-based dishes.
