Grenada Cuisine
The main cultural attraction of Grenada for tourists is the food. Grenada exports cinnamon, cloves, mace, ginger, allspice, citrus peels, and nutmeg to all corners of the world, known as the’ Spice Island of the Caribbean.’ Grenada exports 20 percent of the world’s nutmeg supply. This fragrant seed, crushed into a spice, is even depicted on the flag of the Grenadians. These exotic spices are taken back by many sailors on their journey, as they can find them fresh, locally grown, and often at much lower prices than when sold in stores.
Grenada is a large exporter of cocoa and coffee, in addition to spices. The Grenada Chocolate Company, which is growing its cocoa to manufacture fine dark chocolate, has paved the way for organic chocolate production “tree to bar.” In the village of Hermitage, St Patricks, the company employs a significant number of people. At the annual chocolate festival, which has taken sailors and foodies to the island for many years in a row, their chocolate and other local growers’ goods are sold.
A mixture of African, Indian, and Carib American influence is used in traditional Grenadian cuisine. Most restaurants use heavy spices to create curries and sauces for seafood and fresh, local veggie plates. The “oil down” on the island is a favorite meal to have. In a creamy coconut sauce, cook pork, salt beef, or chicken, and dumplings. When only a small amount of coconut oil is left in the pan, the meat and dumplings are submerged. Fruits and vegetables are also added to the famous dish, including breadfruit, banana, callaloo, yams, and potatoes.
