Rastafari Village Food 🇯🇲 100% ITAL FOOD + Jamaican Herb Tour 🌿 with Rasta I-Win!

Rastafari Indigenous Village - Montego Bay, Jamaica - Today we met up with I-Win at the Rastafari Indigenous Village near Montego Bay, Jamaica. I-Win took us on a tour of the village, where we toured the Jamaican herb garden, and he eventually made some amazing Ital vegan Jamaican food. #Ital #Jamaica #JamaicanFood

What is Ital Food:

Ital (comes from the word Vital) - Rastafari food, usually plant based, low salt, emphasis and natural.

The Rastafari Indigenous Village is set up for tours - but I think what made it really worthwhile for me, was I-Win himself - who is one of the chillies, nicest, and most relaxed Chefs out there. When we arrived, we had a nice tour of the gardens and fruit trees, and the Rastafari natural approach to food and medicine.

We then took a tour through the herb farm where they were growing everything needed to make Jamaican Ital vegan food. Loved the garden. And we also picked ackee fruit - one of the national foods of Jamaica, but poison if it doesn't crack open on its own.

I-Wil cooked ackee stew with vegetables and coconut milk, pigeon peas stew, and fried breadfruit and bammy. Lunch was delicious, refreshing, healthy, and pure Ital vegan.

We also had a few favorite Rasta drinks - like chocolate tea - a combination of freshly ground chocolate and coconut milk, and fresh sugar cane juice with ginger.

I had a fun time, and really enjoyed the food!

Imagine if the whole world lived like this. We would have a whole lot less problems. Simple and humble living, minimal footprint, healthy body and minds!

[jamaicanlovrboy]

eating these kind of foods as a kid is the reason i never got sick often, then i came to America with all the process stuff, and there went my immune system until i started back on this holistic diet.

I just want to hug the Jamaican man, he seems so humble, knowledgeable and full of happiness.

I was in Jamaica in 1978. When we got off the plane, I was overwhelmed by the smell of flowers. I'll never forget it.

I Was Blessed to visit Jamaica... I was 13 when I came with my parents and my siblings. JAMAICA is so pure and Good. Tanzania East Africa also uses fresh vegetables for nourishment. Wonderful People of Peace. I pray the young people will listen to the knowledge.

[deomtt]

Big up to our Jamaican brethren!
Nuff respect from Trinidad & Tobago! 🇹🇹🇹🇹
