In Daniel Chapter 1:12 the King James Version says, “Prove thy servants, I beseech thee, ten days; and let them give us pulse to eat, and water to drink.”
Now, I wasn’t there to see what Daniel and his companions ate during that time in history, but when I looked up the meaning of the word pulse, I found that pulse means “grain, bean or seed.” Although, some of the new bible versions translate it to mean vegetable, but that's not exactly accurate. I like to refer to the The Daniel Fast as a seed based plant diet. Therefore in my opinion, only those plants which may be grown from seeds are acceptable.
Here’s the short list of food items that come from seed bearing plants:
- Grains, beans, and legumes
- Nuts and Seeds
- Vegetables
- Fruit
- Herbs and Spices
So basically, anything that can be grown from a seed would be acceptable, except of course wine, which is made from a seed bearing plant, but contains alcohol.
