| |
| *Nuts ('''poke''') and fruits ('''tiosu'''). Eaten fresh at first, they are dried to keep over the dry season.

| ==Meals==
| |
| *The Islanders eat two meals a day. Breakfast ('''ha tosesona''') is eaten shortly after sunrise ('''ha nomenopoi'''). Supper ('''ha oyesona''') is eaten just before sunset ('''ha nomenoka'''). These times take full advantage of daylight for work.
| |
| *The Islanders eat while seated on the floor around a rush mat on which are placed the various dishes of the meal.
| |
| *The only table utensil is the knife. Hands are used for every other eating task.
