Brahmins in ancient India were a class of the learned. They were priests, doctors, teachers and ministers. Brahmins stayed away from white or red meat, fish, eggs and some foods that grow underground (they stayed away from beets, onions and garlic). They also stayed away from indulgent foods like sweets and spicy foods.
They mostly survived on fruit, vegetables, rice, wheat, boiled foods and milk.
The diet was definitely NOT vegan. It was pure vegetarian.
The belief was that meats and animal foods dull the brain. In order to stay sharp and intelligent, Brahmins took to vegetarian food. This continued for centuries.
In some coastal regions, Brahmins could not survive on vegetarian food as seafood was more widely available compared to vegetarian food. So some sects of Brahmins adapted to eating seafood and certain meats.

Is brahmins in India a tribe of Israel?
Some of us like to think so. Brahmins share common DNA markers/haplogroups with Sephardic and Ashkenazi Jews. There is also a significant portion of brahmins with the Cohen Modal Haplotype. Some Bengali brahmins claim their origins to the Levites of ancient Israel. Similarities include ritual cleansing, dietary law, fasting etc just to name a few. However, not all Brahmins can trace their ancestry to ancient Israel. There are groups in Tamil Nadu who adopted the Brahmin customs, mastered the vedas and got into the fold. The brahmins however seemed to have eluded the attention of lost tribes researchers, and Rabbis alike, or perhaps it hasn't received as much attention in the media.
