What Is Gullah Style?

Eat Healthy
Eat local Eat fresh
Eat in Season

Imagine living in a beautiful sun bathed island community. Everyone farmed and fished, most grew their own livestock in natural serine settings.

Without access to mass transportation or expensive imports; your family ate what was locally caught and grown and what was in season. Most foods are stewed, grilled or roasted, very little is fried. Meat is used only sparingly, and some meals only as seasoning. Whole grains such as rice and cornbread balance out the nutritional profile of many meals. Yard birds (free range chickens) give fresh eggs and wholesome meat, grass fed goats give the tenderest of lean meat.

During the active summer season, feasting and large gatherings with family and friends is common. The earth and sea gives forth her bounty the fruits and vegetables are plentiful and yield high energy natural sugars. Mullet, shrimp and whiting give high quality fats, calcium (aided by time spent in the vitamin D producing sun) and muscle building protein.

The Fall brings gourds and dark green vegetables that are loaded with antioxidants and have remarkable cleansing properties. As the pace of life slows, the earth cools and the heavy tasks to needed to complete harvests are done. The slaughter and curing of a pig, the big pots of greens straight form the garden supply the extra calories and energy to sustain strength, boost the immune system and ready the body for the winter.

Now winter is here, stews of mostly vegetables and beans with some cured meat and wild deer or boar to increase protein. The families settles into a routine that includes more fatty fish and shellfish. Again the life giving properties of Omega3 rich food is naturally occurring in the diet.

With the reemergence of spring, the earth and sea again are producing high energy, low calorie food to ready your body for activities in the warm sun.
