Indigenous Food Preservation Techniques

“Indigenous Food Preservation Technique” refers to traditional methods and practices employed by indigenous or native communities for the preservation of food. These methods, such as drying, smoking, fermenting, or salting, are often handed down through generations and are tailored to the local environment and available resources. Indigenous food preservation techniques are used to extend the shelf life of food without the use of modern preservatives and additives, relying on natural processes and the indigenous community’s knowledge of the local ecosystem. These techniques are vital for food sustainability within these communities and help maintain cultural and environmental connections.
