In the coldest place in the world, everything is frozen, what do people eat?
In cold weather, sometimes down to 60 degrees Celsius, the people of Oymyakon, Nɡа, use nutritious food, helping them to cope with the harsh environment.
Oymyakon is the coldest inhabited place on Earth.In winter, the temperature sometimes drops to minus 60 degrees Celsius. In extreme conditions, locals have sought to compromise with nature.They use clean air and water combining an active lifestyle and healthy food.(Photo: Pinterest).
People in Oymyakon often do not eat a lot of vegetables and fruits.Because of the harsh climate, not many fruits or vegetables can grow in town.Instead, people eat some of the berries, leaves and vegetables that grow in the wild.Their main diet is fish, meat and dairy products.They make up for the lack of fruit by collecting wild fruits.(Photo: WordPress).
Most of the material is not available here because it is brought from elsewhere. Meat from animals such as horses, reindeer, deer and rabbits is huntable. The only source of calcium and many other important micronutrients come from deer milk .This dish helps the locals stay in shape.(Photo: Teh Han Lin).
According to locals, they have never been ill in their life. They believe that the cause lies in two local dairy products, hayak and kyorchekh .(Photo: Teh Han Lin).
Hayak has greasy flavors and colors.The recipe for kyorchekh is similar to the way ice cream is made.Accordingly, fresh cow's milk is whipped with berries, partially frozen into cakes.These dishes cannot be processed nor exported to southern cities.They exist only as part of northern life.
Carp are the most commonly eaten fish.Fish are cooked, fried in a pan or baked by fire.The most famous dish here is stroganina, a sashimi with slices of frozen river fish, sliced and often eaten in winter, served with vodka.(Photo: The Sun).
Stroganina made from sturgeon, Arctic white trout and coregonus nasus are caught under the ice.These fish contain Omega-3 acids that are good for the heart and slow down the aging process.(Photo: Pinterest).
People rely on horse breeding (usually Yakut), reindeer, hunting, fishing, trading and working in thermal plants.Frozen fish is a specialty of Oymyakon.When brought out of the water, the fish almost immediately froze.The cold air ensures that the fish is frozen and fresh until sold.(Photo: SteemKR).
