My First Time Cooking Jamaican Green Banana Porridge!

Welcome back to another vlog. In this vlog I am joined by Brent, the owner of Veggie Campus in Kingston, as he teaches me how to make green banana porridge and an ital coconut milk brussels sprout curry. I soon discover that this was Brents first time making the green banana porridge after watching his father cook it his whole life. We are also joined by Jesse Royal, a Grammy nominated artist, who is promoting his upcoming tour in Brazil. However, I really wanted to find out if he likes eating raw plantain or not...

Actually we not even suppose to fried plantain, but we do! but raw plantain is nice, person who are not into eating health would understand, when u eat raw plantain u get all the nutrient from it, I just like to eat food that are native to the planet even though Plantain is a hybrid fruit but its way better than bread still ...

[@ftcHUNCHO18k]

This video was so refreshing to watch!! I love the vibe 🇯🇲❤️

[@blessupjess]

Thank you 🙏🏼

Blsss up Jess I just came across your channel and I subscribe to your KZbin channel, I am loving your vibes ❤

Another great video, always make me smile with u.. What he does with his talent, teaching the youth inspiring! ❤

[@aurorawanderlust]

Those fressssshhhh ingredients! I'd love to see and even to attend the cooking class!

[@BORNFREE876]

🇯🇲🇯🇲 Blezzingz Jess. Like your spiteful persona as you soars from anonymity towards the infinite ceiling of KZbin. Brent, it’s no surprise you haven’t cook that porridge b4 though you let it look like you’ve done it a thousand times. Cooking is a work of art and if you like it, it’s just a matter of putting your touch and assembling ingredients of your choice. Brent to add to the experience you wear a ready and polite smiling demeanor throughout. I must ask, because during the entire filming I kept wondering “ is this CAT COORE son?”….are you? Nice collab Jess, you and Brent have a beautiful chemistry infront the lens; would like to see another linkup.

[@millicentwatson1824]

That porridge look delicious. I will try Raw ripe plantain.

Jess, Rasta nu "Eat" or "Nyam", We Consume LOL

[@Bangah674]

Green Bananas certainly can be eaten raw BUT, if you are not used to eating it, it may result in excessive bloating. The very high levels of fiber and resistant starch found in uncooked green bananas, is not bioavailable if you're not used to eating it. This fiber and resistant starch is consumed by you microbiome, so in effect, it's a prebiotic, which by the way, is good for good gut health and by extension, a good immune system. To add uncooked green bananas to your diet, introduce it very slowly, so you gradually build up the colonies that are needed to break in down. Big up yuh-self Jess.

❤❤❤ Awesome content 👏 👌 😎

Thank you!!! 🤍🙏🏼

[@kyafikaloo7268]

Jess, the plantain is a fruit off the tree. It's from the banana family, so, as the ripe banana is eaten as it is, God meant the same thing for the ripe plantain. It was meant to be eaten as it is, just like a ripe apple or a ripe mango. Though some people may cook those fruits, they were meant to be eaten as they are, ripened, not really cooked. Ripe plantain is mostly eaten fried, but I'm sure before humans figured out how to extract oil from coconut, olive, etc; they always ate it just as it is (ripened). So get yourself a fully ripened plantain and enjoy it. That 1 u tried isn't ripened properly, so it wasn't sweet and may even hv been a little stainy. Get a fully ripened one next time.

Hey Jess Naam, is only used in certain circumstances, although its patois it's not the first thing Jamaicans use to say eat. Generally, its only when exaggerating. So, mash it up is generally used more than naam when exaggerating. If you check out 'Swaggy-pon-di-Island' vlogs, you will see her in action speaking patois. She's a young Russian who's lived in Jamaica for the past 3-4 years or so with her Jamaican family. she's amazing. Big up!!

[@lusimyer]

Ahahaha. This looks funny. The Chef is afraid of Jess..lol He don't know how Jess stay..she nah ramp wid de food dem!!.hahahahaha 😂😂😂❤

Wish I was there to take these vegetarian/Ital cooking classes. I have tried to get off of eating meat for some time now but have resorted back to eating meat. It is so hard to season and flavor vegetables dishes and make them taste good. Watching this show has given me some ideas to flavor my vegetable dishes.

[@blessupjess]

I’m so happy to hear this 🙌🏼

[@zionnegus8760]

Rasta been making vegan food from the 50s long before it became popular

Jessie Royal is a great reggae artist.

[@jinkai598]

Nice video …. Cinnamon is great but know that it’s a heating spice so use in moderation specially in hot climates💜

[@CliftonEdwards-d7x]

What with you and raw plaintain, it's going to fuck up your belly if you continue eating it💯

[@byronguthrie]

That porridge is too lumpy. He needs to learn more about making banana porridge.

I think Jess is gonna get her passport to live here .. we love you so y not

[@KayBassie]

Growing up seeing some Jamaican men being over preoccupied with not saying certain words cause it sounds 'gay' to them has been hilarious. This bredrin in the video cooking who says he loves to cook, well some can say cooking is feminine. Basically the obsession to not say certain words makes no sense. Anyways love the content you put out Jess. Im begining to think you will move here forever. Watch, you just might marry a Jamaican man and settle down in Jamrock😄

[@RayBrown-c4i]

I take it Jess's,spirit is in jamdown ❤

Raw plantain; that's perfect. As a Jamaican, I consume it all the time. It comes naturally

[@campbell1337]

Does he do video class for overseas.

[@floydbanks6956]

I always have fun watching the content you do, when your happy it just rubs off on everyone and leaving us smiling from ear to ear so just do stuff there are two phrases "weh/wah yuh mean" what do you mean asking a question and "ow yuh mean" how do you mean asking a question but also can be used making a statement, like ow yuh mean do that or say that again if someone did something good, amazing or special it's kinda tricky but you'll catch on the longer your here stay blessed and be safe

[@blessupjess]

This is such a beautiful comment 🥹 thank you sm! And thank you for the explanation!! I’ll definitely try using both of them in the content you’ve explained 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
