Indigenous foods are those that are native to each region, so they vary depending on your location.
Indigenous foods are whole foods. That doesn’t mean the Whole30 diet or the grocery store chain. It means foods that come directly from the ground or an animal.
Anything outside of that definition wasn’t around before colonization.
For instance, Food is Power shares:
- Plants like barley and wheat were brought over from other regions.
- Animals like cows and chickens were not native to the lands Europeans invaded.
- While milking animals wasn’t new, this wasn’t a common practice for Indigenous communities.
Any food products that are processed, or not in their natural state, as well as nonindigenous plants and animals are examples too.
