Nanmulin Tibetan diet is characterized by daily life with Ciba, ghee, highland barley wine, green tea, beef and mutton as the staple food. At the same time, I often eat Tibetan noodles (that is, grinding raw wheat into flour) and vegetables such as radishes, cabbages, potatoes, mountain teas and wild vegetables. Farmers and herdsmen eat rice, dried noodles, steamed bread, and do some cooking. The variety of food is rich, and the nutritional structure is more reasonable.

Ciba: the staple food of the Tibetans in Nanmulin, which is divided into Naiba (pure highland barley Ciba), Baishan (mixed with green peas) and Shanba (pure highland barley Ciba) due to different ingredients.

Buttered tea: not only used when eating, but also one of the essential main drinks. In daily life, except for wealthy families, other poor people can only drink green tea except butter tea in the morning or when there are guests. The practice is to pour boiling water into a ceramic teapot and add a little tea juice and salt to drink.

Highland barley wine: In addition to drinking tea, Nanmulin Tibetans drink highland barley wine (Tibetans call it "gun"). The habit of drinking highland barley wine is extremely common, especially in agricultural and semi-agricultural areas. Highland barley wine is the most indispensable drink, and it is also the favorite drink of Tibetan people in Nanmulin. It is essential to get married, have children and greet friends on holidays.

Meat: Like other Tibetans, Nanmulin Tibetans like to eat meat. There are three main ways to eat meat: one is to cut the meat into pieces; The other is to eat raw meat; Another is to eat after air drying. Among the three ways to eat, air-dried meat is the most famous. The method is to cut the beef into strips and hang it in a cool and windy place at low temperature. Dried meat is bright red, tasteless, long shelf life, not easy to rot and easy to carry.

In addition to the daily consumption of ghee and Ciba, there are many flavor snacks, such as:, Sui, Paza Magu, Zhuo Ma Magu, radish spicy fruit and so on.
