Stomach
Reindeer eat a lot of lichen. Humans cannot digest
lichens and some of them are poisonous. During cold
phases when there was no plant food available for
humans, partly digested lichens from reindeers stomach
provided valuable vegetable food to balance the diet.
Offal
Many of the
organs such as the liver, pancreas, kidneys, and heart
are a good source of protein and fat. These may have
either been eaten raw or cooked.
