Re: Onions, garlic and mushrooms, oh my!
Onions, garlic, and mushrooms are not sAttvik and orthodox Hindus avoid them. Yes, the gItA does not specifically name them, but it does mention three general categories of food, with the implication that only sAttvik foods offered to the Lord in yagna are acceptable. Traditionally Hindus do not consider these to be sAttvik, nor do they offer them.
We don't cook with these ingredients in my household.
