Canned ackee is expensive due to the restrictions put on it by the USDA and FDA. This probably has something to do with it being a fruit that is cooked like it is a vegetable. This is best brand of ackee…

If you live near where west indians reside you may be able to find them cheaper but never less than $5 a can, in the fruit and vegetable market. They are seasonal too, so there is supply and demand at play for the high prices at times.
I feel so PROUD to know that you enjoy my cultural food…lol😁😁😁(cheesing)
