Do you know what this is?
The sweet traces its history back to the 17th and 18th centuries during the proliferation of sugarcane plantations across the Caribbean, especially islands like Barbados 🇧🇧 and Tobago 🇹🇹.
Enslaved Africans and their culinary innovation combined abundant local ingredients—such as indigenous coconuts—with the byproducts and surplus of sugar production to create affordable, long-lasting, and nourishing treats.
Passed down through generations, the recipe became a staple of Caribbean culinary heritage and a nostalgic favorite for schoolchildren across the Caribbean.
This is cultural legacy and is found in an array of colors wherever sugarcane was a king crop.

If you’re gonna rep a Caribbean flag but you’ve never been to the island that you claim, I think you should at least educate yourself about the culture of your family’s heritage.
