"Root Vegetables/Ground Provisions"
Ground provisions is a Caribbean term primarily used to describe traditional, starchy root vegetables that are staples of the regional diet. While the term literally refers to "what the ground gives us," it often encompasses certain tree-grown fruits like green bananas, plantains, and breadfruit because they are prepared and served similarly to underground tubers.
