Juk
Juk is a traditional dish from the Indigenous peoples of the Arctic, particularly the Inuit. It consists of fermented meat, often from seal or whale, which is preserved in a way that allows it to be stored for long periods. The fermentation process gives the meat a unique flavor and texture, making it a significant part of the local diet.
In addition to its nutritional value, Juk holds cultural importance for the Inuit, as it reflects their deep connection to the land and their traditional hunting practices. The dish is often shared during gatherings, reinforcing community bonds and cultural heritage.
