About Cornmeal porridge
Cornmeal porridge is a warm, comforting dish commonly enjoyed in Caribbean cuisine, particularly in Jamaica. Made from finely ground cornmeal cooked with water or milk, it is often sweetened with sugar and flavored with ingredients like cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla. Some recipes may include coconut milk for added richness. This hearty porridge is a good source of carbohydrates, providing sustained energy, and contains dietary fiber that supports digestion. Cornmeal is also gluten-free, making it suitable for those with gluten sensitivities. However, its nutritional profile can vary depending on preparation. Adding excessive sugar or high-fat toppings like condensed milk can increase calorie content, making it less suitable for a daily diet. Overall, cornmeal porridge is a versatile dish that can be enjoyed as part of a balanced breakfast or snack with mindful ingredient choices.
