Kiribati- Cooking and Food

Overview of I-Kiribati Cuisine History
According to the Kiribati inhabitants, a substance that is traditionally known as « te renga » represented the food of ancestors which made the mouth when it was eaten. In fact, this substance was not eaten alone, as it was chewed with the leaf of a certain tree. These people were conscious of the fact that « te renga » was meant to keep away ghosts. In Kiribati almost every person has a strong belief which says that food is a gift of gods and it should be treated with respect. As long as these believes remain alive, food is also meant to nourish the body and to please the mind and the eyes. Kiribati cuisine is generally based on sweet, salty, sour, bitter, and astringent ingredients and flavours.
