Daniel 1:16 describes the steward giving vegetables — the direct fulfillment of the test proposed in v.12.

Deuteronomy 8:3 teaches that man lives by every word from God — Daniel's test trusts God's provision beyond rich food, a parallel principle.

Genesis 1:29 gives all seed-bearing plants as food for humans — Daniel's vegetable diet echoes this original provision, a return to simple God-given sustenance.
