The other brand is called Juliana. It costs about $8 and I couldn't tell the difference between this brand and Grace - tasted great to all of us. One side of the can says "ackee" and the other side says "aki"Originally Posted by Jamerican71

I buy Canned ackee here in Ontario all the time, price ranges from a high of about $9.00 to a low of $5.00. Saw it on sale once for $4.44...bought 10 cans.
Several different brands,Mr. Goudas, Grace and Dunns river. Sometimes it is Jamaican product but most often from Ivory Coast in Africa. I cant tell the difference.
I have it for breakfast a couple of times a week.......no need to boil the canned stuff first. I make up fried dumplings then put the Ackee into the remaining oil along with Diced onions and diced tomatoe, salt and black pepper. Havent found a replcement for the calalloo yet so I just dont bother. Lately Ive made up festivals instead of dumplinmgs but its a lot more work.
