About Haitian cream of wheat

Haitian Cream of Wheat, known as "Labouyi Sitir" in Creole, is a comforting breakfast porridge from Haitian cuisine. Made with fine wheat semolina, it is traditionally cooked with water or milk and flavored with aromatic ingredients like cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla, and star anise. Sweetened with sugar and often enriched with evaporated milk or butter, this dish delivers a creamy, flavorful start to the day. Additionally, it may include mashed banana or coconut milk for added richness. While it provides energy from carbohydrates and contains some vitamins from the milk and wheat, its high sugar content and inclusion of butter or heavy milk may make it less ideal for those monitoring saturated fat or sugar intake. However, it can be adjusted for healthier alternatives, such as using plant-based milk and reducing sugar. As a staple of Haitian breakfast tables, it reflects both the island’s vibrant culinary traditions and its warmth.
