Jamaican Fare Without the Fructose: Your Essential Dining Guide

Dreaming of jerk spice and tropical flavors but struggling with fructose sensitivity? Jamaica's vibrant food scene hides unexpected fructose in sauces, marinades, and local ingredients. Navigating menus requires vigilance – but fret not! Our guide (plus the mm food app) makes savoring Jamaica's flavors safely easier than ever.

The Fructose Challenge in Jamaican Cuisine

Traditional dishes often include sneaky fructose sources:

• 🚫 Jerk marinades: Typically contain sugar or fruit bases like pineapple
• 🚫 Fruit-based drinks: Mango, guava, and sorrel beverages
• 🚫 Condiments: Tamarind sauce, sweet chutneys, and commercial ketchup
• 🚫 Desserts: Rum cake, sweet potato pudding, and tropical fruit salads
