Individual plant entries, especially “Government and virtues”. This is the consulted later edition, not a claim to have checked the 1652 first edition.
Read the source ↗V. Subrahmanya Sastri, English translation, second edition, 1950.
Chapter 2, verse 28: grains and pulses. Mars is retained as dhal, without silently selecting a pulse species; Venus follows this translation’s lablab/cowgram. The nine-graha passage also includes Rahu and Ketu, which are outside ALE’s seven mealtime rulers.

Consulted during research; not used for ingredient assignments in this release. No individual food rulership is inferred from this text.
Read the source ↗Each food retains its planetary ruler and its own author, edition, and passage. Different authors and multiple rulers remain separate attestations. The five crop categories are ALE’s organization, not headings used by every historical author.
Source-explicit means that the source names the food or plant. Common spelling and crop names are modernized where noted. Derived culinary form (†) means that ALE adds a food’s dried or culinary form; the source supports its base food or plant, not necessarily that preparation. Raisins explicitly named by an author remain distinct from raisins derived from that author’s vine entry.
Lilly’s pine and palm remain trees, without inferred pine nuts or dates. His flax is left qualified because the uploaded edition notes a possible toadflax identification. French wheat retains its historical name. Agrippa’s ambiguous “pine-apples” is not converted into a modern ingredient. Culpeper’s wild-carrot passage is not used to assign ordinary garden carrots.
Sources are historical correspondences. The planetary ingredient lists beneath countries follow the calculated mealtime ruler; they do not claim that every ingredient is characteristic of each country.

Culinary references consulted for the country and regional meal research. The reviewed meal options appear on Menus and More. These references do not assign planetary rulers to dishes.
Country overviews, tourism publications, local recipes, and menus are listed separately from astrology texts. A source may document foods without specifying an ALE mealtime; meal placement and small serving suggestions are editorial. Overview references are not item-by-item verification of every proposed meal.
Consulted 18 September 2026. Wikipedia and Wikivoyage entries are secondary overviews; local and institutional sources are identified by publisher.
Sources for the selected vegetarian preparations. Follow the preparation notes where a recipe offers animal-stock or other nonvegetarian alternatives. Serving sizes and ALE mealtime placements are editorial suggestions. Existing dish/cuisine references describe the food; they do not certify every restaurant version as vegetarian.
