Authentic Caribbean Green Seasoning
Caribbean green seasoning is one of the most important staples in my Caribbean kitchen. This fresh herb blend is the flavor foundation for so many island dishes, used to marinate meats, season rice and beans, and build the base of soups and stews. Making it at home takes just minutes and gives you a freezer-friendly seasoning that transforms everyday meals with authentic Caribbean flavor. Once you start cooking with green seasoning, it quickly becomes a weekly staple you’ll never want to be without.
