The Indian Council of Medical Research (ICMR) classifies foods into following five food groups:

  • A.Cereal grains; Pulses and legumes; Milk and meat products; Fruits and vegetables; Fats and sugars
  • B.Cereal grains; Pulses; Nuts and oil seeds; Sugar; Oils and fats; Fruits and vegetables
  • C.Cereal and pulses; Fruits and vegetables; Sugar and fats; Nuts and oilseeds; Meat, Egg and poultry
  • D.Cereal and millets; Pulses and legumes; Fats and sugars; Green leafy vegetables; Fruits

Answer: A

The five ICMR food groups are cereal grains; pulses and legumes; milk and meat products; fruits and vegetables; fats and sugars.

The Indian Council of Medical Research's five-group system, used in its dietary guidelines, groups foods by the main nutrients they supply: cereals for energy, pulses and legumes and animal foods for protein, fruits and vegetables for vitamins and minerals, and fats and sugars for concentrated energy.

The second option lists six groups, not five. The third and fourth both reshuffle the groups, leaving out milk products or merging cereals with pulses, so they do not match the ICMR scheme.
