In India, local food products like spices, grains, and dairy items are integral to daily life and culture. For instance, basmati rice from Punjab is renowned for its aroma and long grains, while spices such as turmeric and cardamom from Kerala are exported worldwide. These products not only support the economy but also reflect India\“s diverse agricultural practices. However, global trade and food safety standards sometimes create divisions, as seen in debates over pesticide residues or genetic modifications, highlighting how food can become a gamble that divides opinions across the globe. |
