My Homemade Jamaican Vegan Plate

Because Jamaican cuisine is more than just JERK CHICKEN!

 

We have some amazing vegan, plant-based dishes too. No disrespect to Jerk Chicken by the way πŸ˜†. Here’s one of my ERN dishes or should I say ERN Quarantine Dishes? Can you tell that I’m dreaming about Jamaica…πŸ‡―πŸ‡². Everything on my plate is very nutrient-dense. I’ve just focused only a few nutrients for each item.

πŸ₯¬πŸ‡―πŸ‡² ACKEE

Jamaica’s national fruit. Rich in fats. Great source of vitamin C, a nutrient that is essential for a healthy functioning immune system, which helps protect your body from various diseases. Read my recent in-depth β€˜Can vitamin C help with cancer and common colds’ article by clicking here.

πŸ₯¬πŸ‡―πŸ‡² CALLALOO

Leafy green vegetable. Rich source of iron and vitamin C. High in calcium for strong bones and teeth.

πŸ₯¬πŸ‡―πŸ‡² GREEN BANANA

May have an appetite-reducing effect due to their high content of fibre and resistant starch (which cannot be digested but promotes healthy gut bacteria).

πŸ₯¬πŸ‡―πŸ‡² PLANTAIN

Also from the Musaceae banana family. Rich source of fibre, vitamins A, C, and B-6, and the minerals magnesium and potassium (as I said all these foods are nutrient-dense!).
The high amount of potassium is essential for maintaining the cell and body fluids that control our heart rate and blood pressure.
