Narwhal Tuugalik In North Baffin the narwhal is a very valuable food source. The maktaaq (skin and blubber) is delicious; it has a chewy texture and is rich in vitamin A and protein. When narwhals are hunted, most people like to eat the maktaaq first. Dried narwhal meat is an excellent source of protein and iron. Narwhal blubber is eaten raw, aged and cooked or boiled in soups and stews. The blubber is an excellent source of vitamin A and also contains omega-3 fatty acids which help prevent heart disease and is believed to help prevent cancer. Narwhal maktaaq is a rich source of Vitamin C, which is otherwise very difficult to obtain in a region where fresh fruit is rarely available. Scurvy, the disease that caused such heavy losses among European sailors and arctic explorers lacking Vitamin C in their diets, is unknown among Inuit.
