Background: Food variety is one of the basic recommendations in modern nutrition sciences for providing energy, and macro/micronutrients. Nutritional concepts have been mentioned in many verses of holy Quran. This study aimed to evaluate these concepts with food security, while emphasizing on dietary diversity and food groups.Methods: In this descriptive analytical study, “GHAMOOS e Quran” and “Vazheyab” online softwares were used to determine the nutritional keywords in Quran. For searching, translating, and interpretation of verses, ‘‘Noor-e-Jami Tafasir version 2.5”; “Zekr” and ‘‘Pars Quran” softwares were applied.Consistencies of modern nutrition recommendations with nutritional concepts of holy Quran were assessed.Results: Results showed that with a few exceptions (pork, wine, blood, and carrion meat), consumption of various foods (at least 30 items from all of food groups), even in heaven have been emphasized in holy Quran. Milk, vegetables, fruits, starchy foods, protein foods, and fat groups have been mentioned 2, 33, 80, 65, 132, and 13 times respectively in verses of holy Quran. In addition compliance to balanced diet, eating healthy and varied foods including animal and plant origin strongly recommended. In the holy Quran extravagance in food consumption and banning certain foods without acceptable rationality severely reprimanded.Conclusion: With regard to banning consumption of only few foods and because of strong reprimand on healthy foods, it seems that nutritional security is one of the indisputable concepts in the Quranic verses.
