When the Kalinagos arrived in the Caribbean, the islands were blessed with an abundance of wildlife, which provided the first settlers with a very reliable source of food. The natives gathered wild fruits and berries but also cultivated crops that they brought to the region such as sweet potato, manioc, yams and arrowroot.
Today, visitors to the Kalinago community have this rare opportunity to sample some of these exquisite Kalinago delicacies such as the dukun, farine balls and cassava bread from the manioc tuber or the tantalising sumptuous roasted redfish in coconut cream, just as they were prepared more than five hundred years ago
