A study of the food habits and nutritional status of a group of Hindu Indian families in British Columbia, Canada, was carried out. The results of this survey indicate that there are qualitative and quantitative inadequacies in the dietary practices of these families. There are certain traditional dietary practices which are nutritionally sound and should be reinforced, whereas there are others which are undesirable but can be improved through appropriate nutrition education programs for the Hindu Indian families immigrating to Canada
