Never Eaten
Jamaican?

From the coffee grown in the lush Blue Mountains to the plentiful fruit trees interspred across the island, Jamaica has one of the most diverse cuisines in the world due to its natural resources and the global inhabitants who have called it home. Never eaten it? Please allow us to introduce you to the world through the flavors of Jamaican Food.

Coal Roasting

Jamaican's natural love of seafood is partially attributed to the resources naturally available to the island. However, the native Arwak Indians passed down their coal-roasting techniques to lend a hand creating remarkable roasted seafood, breadfruit, chicken and other popular dishes.

Curried Curiosities

As Asians, specifically Indians and Chinese, forayed in the Carribean, they brought curries and woks with them and changed the game for everyone. Since then, Jamaicans have curried everything from Goat to Oxtail, creating some of the most popular dishes in Jamaica.

Spicy Treats

The Spanish came next to Jamaica and they brought the heat. Spicy Jamaican foods like Beef. Patties, Peppered Shrimp and Pepper Pot Soup are traditional favorites. However, there are so many other dishes that take advantage of another Jamaican native— the scotch bonnet pepper.

Jerk Everything

Enslaved Africans heavily influenced the culinary offerings of Jamaica too. With heavy stews and a combination of aromatics and spices know today as jerk seasonings, Jamaican favorites like Jerk chicken, pork, and fish are known the world over.

Sweet Thangs

The British came to Jamaica and brought their sweetooth and hankering for breads with them. So colonization gave us Bread Pudding, Cornmeal Porridge, Festival and Fried Dumplings—dishes that are now common in Jamaican cuisine.

Fresh & Healthy

Rastafarianism, born in Jamaica. in the 30's, brought a Rastafarian diet—known as 'ital'— which is similar to veganism. As the movement grew, so did Jamaica's taste for fresh and healthy foods and juices made strictly from the plentiful produce on the island.
