The main Inuit diet consisted of meat and fat. It was typically eaten on the spot after the hunt, in order to warm those who hunted it, but the meat would soon be frozen and would be eaten throughout the day (they typically ate not for community or recreation, but sustenance alone). Surprisingly, many vitamins and fiber humans typically get from vegetables and grains were found by the Inuit people in different organs of fish and seals.

Despite the large amount of meat and fat in the Inuit diet, they also ate some vegetables, but never cultivated. They would forage what could be found (natural tubers, roots, seaweed, etc.) and preserve it by freezing or drying to eat later, usually as a snack rather than a full meal.
