First are the ‘Cultural super foods’.   These foods supply the major caloric load for a peoples.  Some excellent examples of these types of foods include rice as a staple food in India and a good portion of Asia.  The importance of such foods is highlighted by taking on a symbolism, as rice symbolizes fertility in India.  (Kittler and Sucher, p. 374).
