The Culture

The food culture of Nauru is heavily influenced by the island's location and history. Seafood, particularly fish and shellfish, is a staple in Nauruan cuisine. Coconut is also a commonly used ingredient, either as a main component in dishes or as a flavoring. The island's limited arable land and lack of natural resources also contribute to the use of simple, locally sourced ingredients in Nauruan dishes. Traditionally, meals are shared communally and eating together is an important part of Nauruan culture. With influences from neighboring Pacific islands and Asia, Nauruan cuisine has a unique blend of flavors and techniques, making it a rich and diverse food culture.
