Question

Name two ingredients in our food that are not obtained from plants or animals. Mention one source for each ingredient.

Answer 1

Ingredients not from plants or animals.

1. Salt is a mineral that may be found in rocks and seawater.
2. Water is acquired from the river via taps, rain, tube wells, and wells, among other methods.
3. Edible fungi, particularly mushrooms, are among the foods that are not derived from animals or plants. Fermented and pickled foods, such as leavened bread, alcoholic beverages, cheese, pickles, kombucha, and yogurt, are made using fungi and ambient bacteria. Spirulina, blue-green algae, is another example.
