Nagas are known to be hardcore non-vegetarians. Most of the time, there is no meal without a meat dish. But besides the non-veg diet, they also include a lot of boiled vegetables in their diet, such as boiled vegetable leaves, squash, beans, yam etc.
This video captured by WildFilmsIndia shows a few ingredients Nagas include in their diet. Shown in the video are ginger, mushrooms, dried mushrooms, green leaves (mustard plant leaves), axone (fermented soya been), French beans, dry fish, brinjals and other vegetables. Besides, fresh vegetables, Nagas also like to use dried vegetables - like yam stems are slicked and dried in the sun and used with pork and beef in some dishes. Some fermented ingredients include axone (soyabean) and bamboo shoot. Bamboo shoot is actually used in many forms - fresh, dried, fermented, and in liquid form collected during fermentation. They also smoke meat. Smoked pork and beef dishes are also very common.
