Abstract

Food is one of the primary basic needs of humans. It plays a major role in preserving and protecting life and the body. The evolutionary path of the human race consists of traveling towards the developmental stages of the fundamentals of food search and its progressive paths such as food storage, production, preservation, processing, bartering, and the transformation of food items into important commercial goods. Tirumular says, "I nourished the body, I nourished the life." "The heart is a great temple, the flesh body is a shrine" is the saying of the Siddhars.
