Jat Food Habits

Jat food habits are very simple. Jats are mostly non-meat eaters as a result of vedic and Buddhist influence. Their staple food is wheat or bajra, vegetables and plenty of milk and ghee. Jats cosider non-vege food undesirable but some of Jats started taking non-vege food after German war. Presently the proportion of meat eater Jats is very limited. Jat women are normally quite ignorant about cooking of non-vege dishes. Jats earlier were not in habit of taking wine but it is slowly growing in modern times due to influence of other societies.
Milk, curd and ghee is the main food component of Jats. Almost all Jats keep domestic milching animals. On special occasions halua, kheer and chawal are prepared. Rice is consumed with a lot of ghee and sugar.
