Product Information

With a melting pot of inspiration and flavours, Caribbean cooking can put a truly tasty twist on your go-to recipes. From jerk seasoning to savoury fruits, there’s plenty of choice to help you discover your new favourite dish. Keep these food lists in mind if you’re interested in the standard Mediterranean diet ( 3). Foods to eat Many of the health benefits of the Mediterranean diet have been attributed to high amounts of olive oil ( 1, 8, 9, 11). The Caribbean is a region that has long been associated with exoticism, relaxation, and the good life. It is a place where pristine beaches, crystal-clear waters, and lush vegetation blend together in perfect harmony.

Although coconut oil is common in Caribbean cooking, it’s higher in saturated fats — which may increase LDL (bad) cholesterol — and isn’t a suitable replacement for olive oil. You should eat it only in moderation as part of a balanced diet ( 17). Eat tubers in place of whole grains As an incredibly versatile ’nut’, coconut has many uses in cooking and nothing goes to waste when it comes to Caribbean cuisine; coconut milk, cream, water, oil, sugar, flour… the list goes on. The ‘meat’ and milk are used in both sweet and savoury dishes like rice and peas, curries and cakes. Coconut sugar is an alternative to refined sugar for baking and you can use coconut flour for gluten free bakes. Other Mediterranean diet foods are easily adaptable to a Caribbean style of eating. Enjoy local varieties of these foods as suggested: Here are some key swaps you can make for a Caribbean twist on the Mediterranean diet. Ditch the olive oil for avocado The promoter, venue management and DesignMyNight accept no responsibility for any personal property.Oleic acid — the main monounsaturated fatty acid in olive oil — is said to give this oil most of its health properties ( 9, 11, 13).

Not just for fruit salads, fruits like papaya, pineapple and mango are used in savoury dishes too. Before it’s ripe, the papaya is treated like a vegetable, similar to a squash, and is often stuffed and baked or used to make chutneys and relishes. Grilled fruit is also a favourite dish in the Caribbean, with a mixture of chopped fruit sprinkled with brown sugar and cinnamon then grilled on a barbecue. Current U.S. dietary guidelines recommend drinking alcohol in moderation, which means one drink per day for women and two per day for men ( 10). Health benefits You can eat moderate amounts of fish, poultry, and dairy, while you should limit or avoid red meat, eggs, added sugar, saturated fat, and red wine ( 3). However, scientific research suggests that tying the health benefits of a diet to any single food or nutrient is misleading. The overall eating pattern matters most ( 2, 11, 12).This means that in the Caribbean — where olive oil is imported, making it costly and less accessible — you can continue to enjoy cultural foods that provide an array of health-promoting nutrients. servings of non-starchy vegetables at meals: watercress, callaloo, pumpkin, carrots, and bell peppers Turtle Bay’s bottomless brunch is available everyday from 10am until 3pm and 5pm on Sundays.
