  • Ackee or saltfish (lower in fat but high in sodium)
  • Boiled yams or sweet potatoes

Tips

  • Most callaloo dishes are best avoided as they contain salt pork and coconut milk.
  • Many rice and bean or pea dishes contain coconut milk- ask!
  • If you see scotch bonnet peppers listed as an ingredient, beware!  They are very very hot peppers, eat with caution.
