The Buddha bowl gets its name from the Buddhist tradition of the overflowing alms bowl, symbolizing abundance and nutritional balance. It emerged in the Californian wellness culture of the 2010s as a format that promotes colorful and nutritious plant-based nutrition. Its philosophy is to combine grains, vegetable proteins, raw and cooked vegetables, healthy fats and a sauce that unites everything in a single harmonious bowl.
