About Jamaican rice and peas
Jamaican Rice and Peas is a flavorful staple of Jamaican cuisine, often served alongside meats or fish. Despite the name, it commonly features kidney beans or pigeon peas rather than green peas, cooked with long-grain rice. Key ingredients include coconut milk, scallions, garlic, thyme, and pimento, giving it a distinctive Caribbean taste. This dish is a source of carbohydrates from the rice and plant-based protein from the beans, while the coconut milk provides healthy fats. The beans also contribute essential fiber, which supports digestion and heart health. However, traditional recipes may include added salt, so individuals watching sodium intake should be mindful of portions. Versatile and nutrient-rich, Rice and Peas can be part of a balanced diet, bringing a hearty and wholesome taste of Jamaica to the table.
