Keto friendliness
Adapting Trinidadian cuisine to keto requires extreme vigilance and significant deconstruction of most traditional dishes.
Top ingredients
Excellent options include curried or stewed goat, chicken, beef, various fish, shrimp, and crab, along with okra and callaloo (dasheen leaves).
Danger zones
The core carbohydrate traps are omnipresent: roti, doubles, pelau, rice, all provisions (yam, dasheen, cassava, plantain), potatoes, pumpkin, and often sugar in sauces or browning meats.
Best for
This cuisine is best for advanced keto dieters who are adept at navigating complex menus, requesting extensive ingredient omissions, and accepting highly modified, non-traditional meals.
