As you already know, there are numerous sayings and beliefs associated with foods in any locality e.g. For apples: “An apple a day keeps the doctor away”; prevents cavities and tooth decay.

These food folklore have been found to be passed down from generations to generations. Most of them had been initiated from ancestral experience with certain foods.

Also, some were born out of plain curiosity or some sort of attribution. I have taken quite a while to compile and categorize the foods and their folklore from various resources including; the internet, novels, parents, documentaries and even cartoon/comical books.
