About Whale, beluga, meat, dried (Alaska Native)
Dried beluga whale meat is a traditional Alaska Native preservation method that concentrates the already protein-rich muscle into an extremely dense food. The drying process removes moisture and leaves behind an extraordinarily high protein-to-weight ratio with very low fat, unlike the muktuk (skin and blubber) preparation. Zero carbs, zero fiber. In subsistence contexts this is a calorie- and protein-efficient food that stores without refrigeration, essential in Arctic conditions. The flavor is intensely savory and mineral, unlike any commercially available dried meat product.
