The staple diet of North India is wheat because the cultivation of wheat is done in large number compared to any other crops in North.
Explanation:
- Traditional, the India subcontinent has been into two regions on the basis of whether the inhabitant’s basic dietary staple was wheat or rice.
- Rice is the mainstay in the South and East, whereas wheat is the staple in the North.
- In western India so-called coarse grains, such as barley, millet and sorghum, were eaten, but are gradually being supplanted by wheat.
- The wheat stands at second place in respect of its production and consumption in India.
