Traditional meat products with their unique sensory attributes have known to hold tremendous mass appeal, usually with high nutritional value. Kerala cuisine is a unique blend of indigenous and exotic dishes adapted to local culinary culture. Ethnic meat products from the Northern Malabar region have been described in several popular culinary books. However, there has been limited scientific documentation of these products and the estimation of their nutritive value. A field survey was conducted in four districts of North Malabar region of Kerala viz., Kasaragod, Kannur, Kozhikode and Wayanad for creating a database of the major and popular ethnic meat products of the region. A total of 24ethnic meat products of the North Malabar region of Kerala have been cataloged and the proximate composition of five selected products has been described in this study.
