Jerk Marinade

Limit your serving size. Portion control matters here.

Jerk marinade blends chilies, spices, vinegar, and sometimes scallions or ginger into a fragrant base. Scallion whites contain moderate fructans that may trigger sensitivity when concentrated during soaking. Commercial preparations frequently add sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, or wheat thickeners to enhance adhesion and extend shelf life. Those managing IBS should verify ingredient simplicity before marinating proteins to prevent overlapping triggers. Diluting with water and strict timing ensures predictable tolerance.

Combine lime juice, olive oil, thyme, allspice, and scallion green tops to create a gut-friendly base that minimizes triggers. Avoid adding honey or high-fructose sweeteners during preparation to maintain predictable carbohydrate density. Store in a sealed container in the refrigerator and discard used marinade after raw contact to prevent bacterial growth.
