About Jamaican stewed peas
Jamaican Stewed Peas is a hearty and flavorful dish rooted in Jamaican cuisine. Traditionally prepared with red kidney beans ("peas" in local terminology), salted meat like salted pig's tail or beef, fresh seasonings, and coconut milk, it’s a comforting one-pot meal often served with rice. The dish also features small dumplings, known as "spinners," adding a chewy texture. Rich in plant-based protein and fiber from the kidney beans, Jamaican Stewed Peas supports digestion and sustained energy. Coconut milk provides healthy fats, important for brain function, while fresh seasonings boost its nutrient profile. However, the use of salty meats can contribute to high sodium levels, so moderation is key or substitutions can be made for a lighter version. This dish balances culture, warmth, and nutrition, offering a taste of Jamaica in every bite.
