Jackass Corn

A Crunchy Taste of Jamaican Tradition

Jackass Corn, also known as Donkey Corn, is a beloved Jamaican coconut biscuit known for its rock-hard texture and rich coconut flavour. This snack, once a favourite among school children and market vendors, was traditionally eaten by breaking it into smaller pieces or dipping it into tea to soften. The biscuit's name comes from the loud crunching sound made when biting into it—reminiscent of a donkey chewing on tough food. With its simple ingredients and long shelf life, Jackass Corn remains a nostalgic treat, bringing back memories of childhood and traditional Jamaican kitchens.
