The staple foods from 1540 onwards was mutton, corn, squash, beans, melons , peaches, and wild foods like antelope, deer, rabbits, yucca fruit, cactus fruit, pinyon nuts, greens and berries.

Before the Spanish in 1540 they did not have sheep, melons and peaches.

After 1868 fry bread was added.

After the Boarding school experience that many had in the 20th century many institutional foods like dinner rolls and jello became popular.

Today there are 300,000 Navajo and they eat much the same as the rest of America. However, traditional food like mutton, fry bread, kneel-down bread (made from corn meal and fresh corn) and others are still popular.
