About Jamaican red pea soup
Jamaican Red Pea Soup is a hearty, flavorful dish rooted in traditional Jamaican cuisine. Made with red kidney beans (commonly called "red peas" locally), this soup typically includes coconut milk, herbs like thyme and scallions, and spices such as pimento for bold flavor. It's often enriched with ground provisions like yams, potatoes, or carrots, and sometimes includes salted beef, chicken, or pig's tail for added protein. Nutritionally, red kidney beans are a great source of plant-based protein, fiber, and essential nutrients like iron and folate. Coconut milk adds healthy fats, though its high calorie content should be consumed in moderation. Depending on preparation, the soup can be high in sodium due to salted meats or seasoning. Jamaican Red Pea Soup is a wholesome, nutrient-packed meal when balanced with fresh ingredients and mindful of salt levels.
