Sangam periods foods and food Processing

Abstract

Food is the lifeline of man. Without rain, there is no food. Without food, there is no human society. The lines "Those who gave food are those who gave life" emphasize the importance of food. The people of the Sangam Age ate a variety of natural foods. They ate daily cooked and raw.  In Purananooru, we can see the news that kings came to alleviate the poverty of the poets who came to them and gave great relief to the soldiers who fought in the battlefield.  This article examines the food of the people of the Sangam Age and their food preservation methods.
