Diet The Sentinelese people do not use agriculural practices to produce their food. Instead, they gather and eat the vegetation that surrounds them. Their food consists of plantstuffs which are gathered in the forest, cocunuts which are found on the beaches, pigs, flotsam, and other types of wildlife. Their meat consists of turtles and small birds found on the island. The Sentinelese people collect wild honey, fruits and nuts such as sapodilla and pandanus.
