A

The Mature Harappan culture, which emerged in areas previously occupied by the Early Harappan cultures, exhibited certain common elements and shared subsistence strategies with its predecessors. One aspect of their diet was consuming various plant and animal products, including fish. By examining charred grains and seeds, archaeo-botanists, and specialists in ancient plant remains, have been able to reconstruct the dietary practices of the Harappans.

Grains such as wheat, barley, lentil, chickpea, and sesame have been discovered at Harappan sites, providing insights into their cultivation and consumption. Millets have been found specifically in sites located in Gujarat. However, the occurrence of rice remains relatively rare in Harappan archaeological findings.
