Niue
Niuean cuisine reflects the small Pacific island's reliance on fish, coconut, and root vegetables like taro and cassava. Traditional earth-oven cooking remains an important part of communal gatherings.
Takihi, a coconut-based dish, and fresh reef fish are commonly enjoyed across the island. Root vegetables like taro remain a dietary staple alongside seafood.
