Abstract

Commensality is imbued with meanings, and the act of eating transcends survival, permeating culture and delineating identities within the fabric of social relations. The objective of this study was to understand the dietary practices among the Tentehar indigenous people of the Olho D'Água Village. The study is ethnographic in nature, employing dietary recall methodology. In dietary practices, lunch is the most elaborate meal, comprising white rice, rice mixed with beans, bean broth, beans, cassava flour, sausage, farm-raised chicken, free-range chicken, fish from lakes and ponds, game meats, among others. The consumption of ultra-processed foods is gradually increasing among the Tentehar, but products from backyards, farms, and forests, such as sour flour, smoked meat, 'chibé', and 'mandiocaba', are still highly valued
