Canco has been a producer of canned and bottled products for twenty (20) years. We are especially known throughout the food processing industry as one of the leading Ackee producers in the world.
COUNTRY CHOICE ACKEES - The Ackee, along with Salt fish (Codfish), is Jamaica's National Dish. It is a delicious fruit enjoyed either as an exotic delicacy or as an entree and is a great meat substitute for vegetarians. When cooked, Ackee resembles Scrambled eggs and has a somewhat similar taste. The tree is not ubiquitous to the West Indies, but was introduced from West Africa during the 18th century. Its name is derived from the West African Akye fufo. The plant was further named Blighia Sapida in honor of Captain William Bligh. Ackee trees are found across our Island, but the main producing areas are located in St. Thomas, Clarendon and St. Elizabeth. Purified oil from Ackee has high nutritive value with it's healthy fatty acid content.
COUNTRY CHOICE CALALOO - The Calaloo plant is a leafy green vegetable very similar to Spinach. Available all year round, it is very rich in iron, calcium and vitamin B2. This wonderfully nutritious vegetable is used in soups or salads, is delicious steamed by itself or with salt fish (codfish), and may be used as a garnish or as an accompanying vegetable. Country Choice Calaloo also makes delightful Pepper pot Soup, which is a favorite Caribbean Dish. For the vegetarian, our Calaloo also makes a delicious drink!
