Jerk spice is a popular spice in the Islands. Historians believe that jerk spice was developed by Marrons who were African slaves living in Jamaica.
One reason why I love the Jamaican culture and food is because it is similar to some of the West African foods. In fact Ghanaian slaves (my ancestors) specifically Akan tribe were taken to Jamaica and they were referred to as Koromantis.
Afromeals jerk spice is very aromatic with a blend of different aromatic spices to give you that Jamaican Caribbean experience.
Jerk spice is a rub that can be used on anything. You can enjoy Jerk chicken, beef, goat meat, pork, fish, tofu, mushroom and even vegetables. It is very versatile.
