Because the growing season is so short, the traditional Inuit diet was heavily based on the results of fishing and hunting. These staples of the traditional Inuit diet are known as "country foods."
 
Many retails stores carry fresh, frozen or vacuum packed country foods. You can also contact the local Hunters and Trappers Organization (HTO) or one of Nunavut's many Co-op and Northern stores. A permit is required to export many food products, and other countries also have import restrictions.
