Abstract
This chapter considers specific nutritional factors of indigenous peoples in Russia's Arctic zone. The authors have identified the prerequisites for the optimization of the diets of indigenous peoples in the light of existing environmental and medical-biological problems. A low level of self-sufficiency of local population with basic food products (meat, dairy, and egg products) was identified. The chapter provides a detailed analysis of the chemical composition of chia seeds as a promising ingredient of the northern diet, in particular the biological value of a product based on protein, lipid, carbohydrate, mineral, and vitamin components. The authors proposed considering chia seeds as a part of the composition of various food products for functional purposes. Potentially, the inclusion of scientifically based food recipes in the diets let providing the indigenous people with balanced food products.
