About Jamaica empanada
Jamaica Empanada is a flavorful pastry inspired by Mexican cuisine, featuring a vibrant filling made from hibiscus flowers (jamaica), onions, and zesty spices. The hibiscus flowers provide a unique tangy-sweet flavor and are rich in antioxidants, contributing to heart health and immune support. Encased in a golden, flaky dough, the empanada is baked or fried, with frying slightly increasing its fat content. This plant-based dish is naturally vegan and offers a good source of fiber from the hibiscus and any additional vegetables used. While moderate in calories, the nutrition profile varies depending on the preparation method and type of dough—whole-grain or gluten-free options may enhance its health benefits. A perfect fusion of health-conscious ingredients and indulgent taste, Jamaica Empanada is both a satisfying treat and a nod to the creative diversity of Mexican gastronomy.
