About Ackee twists

Ackee Twists are a flavorful and nutritious Caribbean-inspired dish that combines ackee, a popular fruit native to West Africa and Jamaica, with a soft, flaky pastry. The filling typically includes the golden ackee fruit mixed with sautéed onions, peppers, tomatoes, and spices, often blended with codfish for an authentic twist. Packed with vitamins A, B, and C, ackee itself is a nutrient-rich fruit that supports immune health and energy production. While the fruit is cholesterol-free and a source of healthy fats, its preparation in fried pastries may add extra calories and fat content, depending on cooking methods. Ackee Twists are best enjoyed baked for a lighter option or paired with a fresh salad for a balanced meal. This dish highlights the vibrant flavors of the Caribbean and offers both indulgence and nutrients in every bite.
