I found a nice article to send to friends explaining the essence of Paryushan.

One question I had from this is where they mention, “They add to their normal vegetarian restrictions by avoiding such foods as potatoes, onions, and garlic–the eating of which entail killing the plant instead of just taking its fruit.”

Is that accurate? That seems like an important distinction which makes sense to me, to avoid foods which involve killing the plant rather than taking its fruit. I was always told to avoid kann-mood because there is more “life” in the roots. Thoughts?
