GunaFood -Ayurvedic Food Guide

Discover the ancient wisdom of Ayurvedic food classification with GunaFood, the first app dedicated to the Guna framework from the Bhagavad Gita and Charaka Samhita. Classify foods as Sattvic, Rajasic, or Tamasic and understand how your food choices align with your intentions.

Every food carries a quality — Sattvic (pure, harmonious), Rajasic (stimulating, activating), or Tamasic (heavy, dulling). The Ayurvedic tradition teaches that understanding these three Gunas helps you make mindful food choices, whether you seek clarity for meditation, energy for activity, or comfort for rest.

HOW IT WORKS

Search any food to see its Ayurvedic Guna classification with a clear visual breakdown. Each food includes source citations from texts like the Bhagavad Gita Chapter 17, Charaka Samhita, and Sushruta Samhita, so you can trace the wisdom to its origins.

The contextual eating guide suggests what to eat based on time of day, activity level, and Ayurvedic seasonal considerations — all drawn from traditional principles of mindful eating.

EDUCATIONAL, NOT PRESCRIPTIVE

GunaFood celebrates all three Gunas. There are no "bad" foods — only choices made with awareness. Whether you follow a Sattvic diet for yoga and spiritual practice or enjoy Rajasic foods for energy, this Ayurvedic food guide helps you understand the traditional perspective without judgment.

ROOTED IN AYURVEDIC TRADITION

All food classifications are sourced from classical Ayurvedic texts including the Bhagavad Gita (Chapter 17), Charaka Samhita, Sushruta Samhita, and Ashtanga Hridaya. Modern foods not found in classical texts are classified by applying traditional Ayurvedic principles, clearly noted for transparency.
