This study addresses the subject of foods in Southwest Arabia between the first and early seventh centuries AD, emphasizing its importance because it hasn't been thoroughly examined in earlier research. Foods and beverages are the subjects of the first and second sections of the study, respectively. A descriptive and historical methodology was employed to analyze the data.

According to the research, people in Southwest Arabia led a rather basic lifestyle before the arrival of Islam, with a small variety of foods and beverages. Their main foods were dates, different kinds of flour, and a few animal and bird meats. The usual beverages were ginger, coffee, wine, honey, milk, and broth. These foods and beverages options differed depending on family status and the resources available in particular areas, rather than being consistent across all time periods and places. Due to the natural and geographical conditions as well as the agricultural products that were available, such as grains, vegetables, and meats, each tribe or region had its own distinct cuisine.

In addition, the research comes to the conclusion that Southwest Arabian civilization was neither totally autonomous nor distinctive in a number of ways, especially with regard to diet. Ancient Yemen's eating habits were notably more united and integrated with those of its surrounding areas. such as Hejaz and others.
