Liquid guna causes increased secretions in the tissues. In general, sour and salty foods cause increased secretions. Sweet and oily foods too. Examples are limes, yoghurt, and ghee mixed with sugar.

In a second sense, liquid guna can also refer to the amount of liquid or dryness in food. But on the Joyful Belly website we use the first definition of liquid only. Otherwise, raw basmati rice would show up as Vata provoking because it is drying.
