The study employed a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collection techniques including field observations and in-depth interviews with community leaders and local culinary practitioners. The results indicate that Ra'a Rete utilizes a variety of local ingredients, such as tubers and spices, which possess high biodiversity and significant nutritional value. Furthermore, this dish plays an important role in preserving the cultural identity of the Bajawa people and provides an opportunity to raise awareness of the sustainable use of local resources.
