Endless options but consumers need to start making the healthier choices

Cranberry water is better for you than the normal bottled water.

Cranberry Juice is better than Cranberry water because it is made from 100% cranberries..no added sugar or preservatives.

Parents usually give their toddlers Welches thinking it is healthier for them when it could actually be the opposite. Welches has an ingredient in it called Corn Syrup which is a sweetener and could do more harm than good.

Many people might not be aware of this but Trujuice Orange Juice is actually better to consume when it has the white label. The white label usually comes on the bottles when oranges are in season. The white label indicates that it is made from 100% freshly squeezed oranges while the range label means it is made from citric concentrate when oranges are not available.

Coconut Water is a healthier alternative to all of these as the only ingredient is coconut water.

Another alternative is picking the fruits and making all natural juices for yourselves and I will give you the 'How To' in subsequent posts

PS: Soda is never the healthier choice

ATTENCIONES!!!

'This little piggy went to market, this little piggy got fat'. Why?

Because the little piggy didn't pay more attention to labels.

It is not uncommon for persons to go shopping and just buy things without reading the facts about the products they are purchasing. Often times the things we buy under the 'label' of natural are actually the opposite and are very hazardous to our health. These pictures will show some popular 'fruit' drinks and juices that many persons think are good but the facts say otherwise...

LABELS are NOT DECORATIONS

This post will not be the regular recipe posts but serves to educate fellow 'Tumblites'. I promise you will pay more attention to details on your next trip to the supermarket

Jamaican National Dish

Ingredients

2 dozen ackees, or 2 20oz cans ackee 1 tsp salt 1/2 lb saltfish (salted cod) 1/4 cup coconut or vegetable oil 2 medium tomatoes, chopped 1 sweet pepper (bell pepper) chopped 1 large onion, chopped or in rings 2 cloves garlic, minced 1 hot pepper, diced (optional) 1/4 tsp ground pimento (allspice) or a few whole pimento grains black pepper

If using canned ackees, there is no need to boil them. Simply drain off the liquid.Remove ackees from pods. Clean, wash and drain. Place ackees in boiling water (enough water to cover ackees) with salt, and boil for about 15 minutes or until tender. Drain and set aside.

Wash saltfish thoroughly. Place in a pot with enough cold water to cover saltfish. Boil uncovered for 15 minutes. Throw off the water. When cool enough, separate the saltfish into small pieces, discarding skin and bones. If fish tastes too salty, wash it again.

Heat the oil over medium heat and add tomatoes, sweet pepper, onion, hot pepper, garlic and pimento. Add saltfish and ackee, and stir lightly. Heat thoroughly, especially if using canned or frozen ackees. Add black pepper to taste.

Variation: Use crispy bite sized pieces of bacon or corned pork as a substitute for, or in addition to saltfish.

You can be flexible with this ackee and saltfish recipe. Use whatever vegetables and seasonings you have on hand, that you think might go well with the two main ingredients.

Serve with boiled green bananas, dumplings (fried or boiled), roast breadfruit, bammy, bread, white rice, Rice and Peas...almost anything is good. Enjoy your meal!

How to prepare the Jamaican National Dish...Ackee and Saltfish.

The recipe will be shown in the next post

Ackee Facts

Scientifically named in honour of Captain Bligh who brought it from Jamaica to England (Blighia) and for its savoury taste (sapida).

Ackee was brought here by enslaved West Africans. The first evidence of ackee growing in Jamaica was found in the 1700s.

The ackee tree grows eight to fifteen metres tall. It flowers biannually, occasionally more often.

The fruit of the ackee is not edible in its entirety, only the inner, fleshy yellow arils are consumed.

The presence of of hypoglycine A in the immature and over-mature fruit is found in ackee and this makes it poisonous at certain stages in its development, this is why Jamaicans believe that ackee must open naturally to avoid the toxicity.

It is widely consumed in Jamaica and Jamaicans are among the only people who eat it.

Although it is said to be mostly consumed by Jamaicans, Ackee is eaten in other Caribbean islands such as Haiti and Cuba.

If you go to Barbados and ask for Ackee, what you will get is known as Guinep in Jamaica so be sure you know this guys.

Ackee is the national fruit of Jamaica and one-half of the national dish, ackee and saltfish. Though Ackee and Saltfish is the most popular dish made from the ackee, it is also combined with callaloo and corned pork, mackerel, bacon or beef for other dishes.

The next posts will show you how to prepare Ackee and Saltfish and the post following that will show you how to make a 'one pot' meal using Ackee.
