What is jamaican seasoning?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Jamaica is most famous for jerk seasoning, which typically includes scallions, ginger, thyme, garlic, cinnamon, peppercorns, nutmeg, allspice ("pimento") and, of course, Scotch Bonnet peppers. Those ingredients are found, in varying proportions, in other Jamaican dishes, as well.

Technically, of course, those are not all spices. Scotch Bonnets are a fruit, scallions and garlic are considered vegetables and thyme is an herb. Jamaican cuisine sometimes uses turmeric, which is also a spice. You might notice that ginger, turmeric and cinnamon are spices often found in South Asian cuisines--this is not a coincidence, but a result of Jamaican history.

Allspice, which is invariably called "pimento" in Jamaica (and nowhere else), has nothing at all to do with the mild red peppers called pimentos everywhere else in the world. Allspice is a dried berry that is native to the Caribbean and is the single spice that is the most important and characteristic flavor of Jamaican cuisine.

Does Jamaica have banana's?

Asked by Wiki User

Jamaica has a warm, tropical climate being located in the Caribbean and places with this type of climate and vegetation such as palm trees will have coconuts. With Jamaica being a popular tourist destination, I would doubt they would be without coconuts!

Of course Jamaica has coconuts. I live in Jamaica and trust me their quite abundant too. We buy them every Sunday to make a special dinner. By The way I came across this question while doing homework. Our climate acts in the favor of those types of plants.
