What food do people eat in Yakutia, Siberia. We headed out in to Yakutsk, Russia, the coldest city on Planet Earth, with our local friend Maria to find out more about Yakut (Sakha) cuisine and culture. This region is almost completely covered in Permafrost, meaning growing staple crops here is near on impossible (due to the fact the soil is basically ice). Therefore the food here in the World's coldest region is mainly based on meat and dairy, with few fruits or vegetables. However the ecology of Yakutia is incredible meaning the quality of the products is so high, you can eat nearly everything raw and people here do exactly that, from raw fish, to every part of the meat - including liver and intestine! Life in this beautiful region of the world may seem difficult, but the locals love it and love their cuisine alike, let's explore it!
