Consider looking at chapter 17 of the bhāgavad gītā . Sattvic foods in general are called out.
Now, more specifically one may wish to look to Dr. Vasant Lad and some of his books from an āyurvedic¹ ( science of life, vitality) point of view e.g.
- Auyrveda - the science of self-healing
- The Complete Book of Ayurvedic Home Remedies
This then gets involved in the right tastes¹/foods for the individual based upon their
constitution.
iti śivaṁ
- āyurved - contains eight departments:
- śalya or (removal of) any substance which has entered the body
- śālākya or cure of diseases of the eye or ear by śalākās or sharp instruments ;
- kāya-cikitsā or cure of diseases affecting the whole body ;
- bhūtavidyā or treatment of mental diseases supposed to be produced by demoniacal influence ;
- kaumāra-bhṛtya or treatment of children ; 6. agada-tantra or doctrine of antidotes ;
- rāsāyana-tantra or doctrine of elixirs ;
- vājīkaraṇa tantra or doctrine of aphrodisiacs
- We know there are 6 tastes:
- madhura or sweet
- amla or sour
- lavaṇa or salty
- kaṭuka or pungent
- tikta ,or bitter
- kaṣāya or astringent
