Sushruta Samhita
प्राणिनां पुनर्मूलमाहारो बलवर्णौजसां च । स षट्सु रसेष्वायत्तः; रसाः पुनर्द्रव्याश्रयाः; द्रव्याणि पुनरोषधयः । तास्तु द्विविधाः- स्थावरा जङ्गमाश्च ॥२८॥
Food is the principal factor which materially contributes to the strength, complexion and vitality (Ojah) of animated beings. Food consists of six different tastes (Rasa) [which cannot exist independently of the substances] in which they are inherent. These substances which are called the Oshadhis may be divided into two classes such as the mobile and the immobile.
