Caribbean Beef Patty is a flavorful turnover featuring a golden, flaky pastry filled with seasoned ground beef. Originating from Jamaica, this popular handheld dish is a staple in Caribbean cuisine, showcasing spices like turmeric, thyme, and Scotch bonnet peppers for a vibrant taste. The buttery crust adds richness, while the savory filling provides protein from the beef and aromatics from onions, garlic, and herbs. While the beef patty offers a satisfying source of protein and iron, its pastry contains refined flour and fats, contributing to a higher calorie and saturated fat content. Often enjoyed as a snack or quick meal, moderation is key for those mindful of calorie intake. Pairing it with fresh vegetables or a side salad can balance its richness and enhance nutritional value.
