Food
Reindeer meat is the most important part of their diet which they usually eat raw, frozen or boiled. They also drink the blood of a freshly slaughtered reindeer. Fish is also an important food for them and they catch species that include: muksun, white salmon, and broad white fish. Fish is mainly eaten raw or frozen, but they also freeze and salt it to preserve it. Since they have had access to flour bread and bannock has also become an important part of their diet. During the summer they collect berries including mountain cranberry, blueberry, and cloudberry which they eat fresh and also make into jam to preserve it for the winter. Nowadays most Nenets have access to a wide range of Russian foods in the shops.
