Value-Master has a good selection...
Quality Traders aka the Green Store has a good selection of spices. If you like the popular brand Easispice, they carry the larger packages which I don't think HiLo and Value Master offer...someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
Some of the smaller stores around town carry a decent selection also.
Last May, Value-Master was selling the larger sizes of jerk seasoning ~ hopefully, they'll have 'em again :)
This will Be Our 2nd Trip, Did not Hear About Value-Master First Trip?Quote:

We always head over to the Sav market and stop by the EasySpice store across the street. We normally bring back 4 or 5 pounds of jerk and a couple of pounds of pork, along with a pound of chicken, a pound of fish and this time a pound of oxtail. The store was out of the 1 pound bags of pork, so we brought back 40 smaller bags. Our kids and friends always love us for this. I don't think the store is open on Saturday.

Bob

This year was the first year we went to Quality Traders and we found our Picka Peppa gingery mango sauce there(our son absolutely loves this sauce!), no one else carried it this year. They had a great selection of spices(larger qualities available) and prices were great.Quote:

don't know too many stores that don't carry spices....it's just the large packs that are hard to find
but Quality Traders has the best display section of Spices in Negril....and about the best prices
the only problem mi have is bringing dem back to the states when mi declare dem........
u gotta put down dat dem granulated spices on the immigration form........
and usually dem ask about dem or xray your bag......and once going thru TSA in the states.....
they did a swab test on the sealed packages of Easispice to make sure dem okay......lol
the other thingy mi bring back is da Caribbean Dream Sorrel and Ginger tea......
not found in any of da stores around mi here in Florida....use to find it but not anymore....ugh
the tea is actually red in color and find most other teas they skimp on the Sorrel and thus no redness or taste......
most Jamaicans don't like it.....but mi love it.....suppose to be good for those with high blood pressure

It is just before Sunshine Plaza (where HiLo is.) It has a partial wall in front with a big gate. Left side of the street. Painted green. It is actually called Quality Traders.Quote:

For some great Indian spices, there is a small store in the covered area next to Value Master at the round about. The store has a little of everything, like most JA stores...but on one side of the store, there are lots of spices of all sorts. I bought some wonderful Indian curry and tandoori marsala spices. You might want to check it out.
me-personally,
don't fool with the pre-packaged stuff
i get fresh from Lucea market or a street-vendor::::
..e.g., thyme, the curly ginger root, cinnamon bush, nutmeg WITH the mace, pimento seeds (aka allspice), and a few other things ... tried hard, last trip, but couldn't find fresh homemade coconut oil ... also get fresh locally stolen-from-bees honey
folks,
it's BEST to do as boardie-Marko said:::>>> ''..DECLARE" that stuff on your USofA form, 'cause they might confisicate it if you're ever searched and they find it and you didn't declare it......if they don't take it from you, they probably WILL give you a tongue lashing for not declaring.
just make SURE the leafy stuff like thyme & cinnamon bush is dry-dry ... they don't like/allow entry-with-it if it's too green. :::: so buy it early-early before your departure date.
you've been luckyQuote:
