About Jamaican cornmeal porridge
Jamaican Cornmeal Porridge is a hearty, creamy dish rooted in Jamaican cuisine, often enjoyed as a breakfast staple. Made from fine yellow cornmeal, it is typically cooked with water and coconut milk or regular milk, sweetened with ingredients like condensed milk, sugar, or honey. Flavored with spices such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and vanilla, it offers a warm, aromatic experience that is both comforting and satisfying. Packed with carbohydrates, it provides sustained energy, making it ideal for starting the day. The use of coconut milk adds healthy fats, which support heart and brain health. However, traditional preparation can be high in added sugars, so moderation or alternative sweeteners may be considered for those monitoring their sugar intake. Rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals from the cornmeal, this porridge is a wholesome and nutrient-dense meal with the added bonus of versatility for customization to suit dietary preferences.
