Nauruan cuisine is heavily influenced by its Pacific Islander roots and the availability of imported foods. Traditional dishes often feature seafood, such as fish and coconut, reflecting the island's oceanic environment. However, due to limited agricultural land, much of the food is imported, leading to a diet that includes a significant amount of processed and canned foods. Rice, noodles, and canned meats are common staples. The influence of Australian and Asian cuisines is also evident, with dishes like curries and fried rice being popular. Despite these influences, there is a growing interest in reviving traditional cooking methods and ingredients.
