About Jerk
Jerk is a flavorful and spicy seasoning blend that originates from Jamaican cuisine. Traditionally used to marinate and cook meats like chicken, pork, or fish, jerk seasoning typically includes a mix of allspice, Scotch bonnet peppers, thyme, garlic, cinnamon, ginger, and other spices. Its rich, smoky flavor comes from grilling the marinated meat over open flames or pimento wood. Jerk dishes are high in protein and are loaded with antioxidants from the herbs and spices, which may help reduce inflammation. However, some jerk recipes can be high in sodium due to added salt or store-bought marinades, so it’s best to check labels or make your own seasoning mix to control the ingredients. Enjoy jerk as part of a balanced meal, pairing it with whole grains or vegetables to create a nutritious, well-rounded dish.
