The Apache diet consisted of approximately 35-40% meat and 60-65% vegetation.

Meat consisted of primarily deer. But other common examples are pronghorns, cottontail rabbits, opossums, squirrels, surplus horses, surplus mules, wapiti (elk), wild cattle, wood rats, bighorn sheep, buffalo, wild steers, beavers, chief hares, chipmunks, doves, groundhogs, grouse, peccaries, porcupines, prairie dogs, quail, rabbits, skunks, snow birds, turkey, black bears, burros, ducks, fish, mountain lions, mourning doves, mules, turtles, geese, badgers, fowls, and otters.

The vegetation portion of the diet includes baked and dried agave crowns that they smashed into a pulp and formed into cakes, saguaro, prickly Pears, cholla fruits, mesquite beans, Spanish bayonet fruit, Emory oak acorns, juniper berries, pinyon nuts, century plant, anglepod seeds, banana yucca fruit, chili peppers, chokecherries, currants, Gambel oak acorns and bark, grass seeds, hawthorne fruit, and MANY more. Usually, anything local they would eat.
