While not always officially acknowledged,Puerto Rican gastronomy stands out from its neighboring islands, influenced by a rich tapestry of cultures throughout history. Renowned for its bold flavors, highly seasoned dishes, and sweet desserts, Puerto Rican cuisine uniquely incorporates sweet elements into savory preparations. For example, the common practice of serving fried ripe plantains alongside traditional savory dishes adds a touch of sweetness to the meal, creating a delightful fusion of flavors that instantly pleases the taste buds.
