According to the scriptures, consumption of certain food items is completely prohibited during Navratri. The Bhagavad Gita and the Vedic scriptures categorize food items under sattvic, rajasic and tamasic categories. In such a situation, during Navratri fasting, only those vegetables are consumed which come in the sattvic category.

Generally, the consumption of bitter, sour, pungent, salty or dry Tamasik foods should be avoided during Navratri days. Because this type of eating creates negativity, lethargy and restlessness. It is said that to please the Mother Goddess, you should not eat alcohol, meat etc. at all.
