Introduction: Quilombola communities are population centers with specific characteristics, with their own historical trajectory anchored in a certain territory, with a presumption of African ancestry and with resistance to the oppression suffered due to slavery. Objective: To understand the Food Culture of a quilombola community in a municipality in Rio Grande do Sul. Methods: This is a study with a mixed, exploratory and descriptive approach, with a cross-sectional design. Data were collected regarding the characterization of the sample, food culture and contributions of the quilombola community to healthy eating, through a questionnaire prepared for the research. Results: Twenty residents of a quilombo were interviewed, where the majority of women in the sample were 60% (n=12). The interviewees stated that the transmission of knowledge about traditional foods and recipes is passed on through generations, therefore, they nourish much more than the body. Conclusion: Based on the historical trajectory of black people, who carry a food culture that is present in our memories and even in the midst of so much adversity, influenced by racist thoughts, praising the riches of this population's food culture allows us to understand that black resistance also it crosses food issues and the act of eating expresses memory, affection and ancestry.
