The Chumash were a hunting, fishing, and gathering tribe, getting most of their food from the sea, but also eating roots, plants, nuts and seeds.

The most popular vegetarian food item was the oak acorn, which they painstakingly dried, ground, and leached to eliminate the bitterness. The acorn flour was used to make soup and mush which was eaten on a daily basis. It is estimated that the average Chumash individual consumed up to 300 pounds of acorns in a year. Chia sage and seaweed were also often on the menu.

The Chumash ate fish and shellfish such as abalone and clams, and they also ate sea mammals such as seals and otters.
