Food & Living in Nicaragua
Cousine
There are a lot traditional Nicaraguan dishes. Each region, according to geographical and cultural characteristics, produced various dishes, drinks, and sweets. Throughout the years, those dishes became known in the whole country.
Nicaraguan cuisine reflects a mix of the country’s history, combining influences from its indigenous people, Creole cuisine, and Spanish influences from early colonial settlers. On the Caribbean coast of Nicaragua and the Corn Islands, for instance, visitors will find regional specialties highlighting fresh seafood or coconut – coconut bread is a specialty in the Corn Islands or rondon, a fish and coconut stew.
One of the most fundamental components of Nicaraguan cousine is corn. It has long been used by the indigenous tribes who lived in the area and is still every bit as popular today. It permeates all aspects of cuisine in Nicaragua and you will find it in the most unexpected places. Corn is used to make drinks such as Chicha and Pinol. It is also used in the Nacatamal, Indio Viejo and Sopa de Albondiga dishes that are commonly served as a main meal. Popular sweets featuring this dynamic vegetable include Atolillo and Perrereque.
However there is much more to be found in Nicaraguan cuisine than just corn. A largely tropical country, there is a wealth of fruits to be found that are used widely in the kitchen. Nicaragua’s diverse climate conditions produce a wide range of fruits and vegetables unique to the region. While in Nicaragua, your clients can sample exotic produce they may have never tried before, such as sapote, a fruit with red or orange pulp that is very soft and sweet; jocote, a small fruit with juicy and acidic flesh that can be eaten fresh (ripe or unripe), squeezed for juice or preserved; and or culantro, a pungent herb similar to cilantro.
