These fresh ingredients find their way into every meal, whether it’s the juicy mangoes, creamy avocados, or fiery habaneros.
As you savor a plate of chicken stew garnished with crispy plantains and spicy rice and beans, you can’t help but be grateful for the wholesome goodness that Belize’s fertile lands provide.
