The Ackee and Saltfish (Codfish) – Jamaica’s National Dish is a world-acclaimed!
It is a delicious fruit enjoyed both as an exotic delicacy and as an entree and is a great meat substitute for vegetarians. The tree is not ubiquitous in the West Indies but was introduced from West Africa during the 18th century. Its name is derived from the West African Akye fufo. The plant was further named Blighia Sapida in honor of Captain William Bligh. Ackee trees are found across our Island, but the main producing areas are in St. Thomas, Clarendon, and St. Elizabeth.
Purified oil from Ackee has high nutritional value with its healthy fatty acid content.
