Traditional Food and Beverage Knowledge of the Kamar of Chhattisgarh state: An exploratory study

Author(s) Bhumika Raj Sonwane, Ashok Pradhan
Country India
Abstract This study explores the Traditional food and Beverage of the Kamar, a Particularly Tribal Group in Chhattisgarh state, emphasizing its significance for community health and cultural identity. It encompasses the local food systems that are culturally acceptable and derived from the natural environment, crucial for sustaining healthy communities. The research highlights the socio-cultural meanings, processing techniques, and nutritional benefits associated with traditional foods, such as millet, green leafy vegetables, and beverages rich in vitamins and minerals. It also documents the preparation methods. The use of Mahua fruit for alcoholic beverages and Mandiyo Pej non-alcoholic summer drinks showcases the resilience of these practices in the face of modern dietary changes. The findings reveal that traditional food practices are not only vital for nutrition but also play a significant role in community building, healthcare, and cultural rituals. However, the research underscores the risk of losing traditional knowledge of food and beverages as the young generation is facing challenges due to modernization and changing dietary preferences. Despite these challenges, there is an opportunity for them to revive interest in traditional food and beverages. By recognizing the nutritional and medicinal benefits of these foods, they can play a pivotal role in promoting traditional food and beverages, ensuring their relevance in contemporary society. This exploration serves as a reminder of the interconnectedness of food, culture, and health, advocating for recognition and revitalization of traditional food systems for future generations.
Keywords Traditional food knowledge, Traditional alcoholic beverage, Traditional non-alcoholic beverage, food behaviour, food epistemology etc.
