Jamaican cuisine is thought to be healthy because it is made with many unprocessed foods, uses smaller portions of meats, has a high content of fish, beans, and vegetables, and, most of all, because it is an eclectic mix of the best that African, European, Indian, and Chinese cuisines have to offer. Moreover, Jamaicans have always been aware of the relationship between food and health. How else can anyone explain why some of the most highly rated medicinal herbs, e.g., ginger, garlic, all spice and hot peppers just happen to be the basic seasonings used.

The breadfruit tree scientific name is Artocarpus Altilis. Some attribute it to William Bligh, Commanding Lieutenant of the HMS Bounty who in the late 18th-century introduced it as a cheap, high -energy food for British slaves in the Caribbean, while some say it was Captain James Cook who brought it to the Caribbean. Who ever did it, did a fine job, because this tree and its fruit; raw and cooked, is high on vital minerals.
