Dear Devotees at Chakra,
I have some questions regarding the restrictions of vegetarian foods in the Vaisnava diet. I realize that onions and garlic are unacceptable for offering to Krsna, but I have heard from various sources about other unofferables such as mushrooms, carrots, and cauliflower. I think I can be certain about mushrooms being unofferable, but does anyone know the reasons why or scriptural stories behind this?
What about chocolate? I have seen Govinda’s white chocolate bars in the store, but maybe they are decaffeinated? What about decaffeinated beverages, although residual caffeine still remains?
I know this may seem like an insignificant realm of questioning, but it would be nice to see how other devotees understand this matter.
Thank you.
Hare Krsna!
