Provisioning Provisioning in Belize is possible as long as you are willing to be flexible and be innovative with the materials you find available. Oranges and other citrus fruits are cheap and readily available as are a variety of roots and tubers. Peanut butter, canned 'cheese' and a wide variety of preserves make for hearty lunches when accompanied by fresh bread made over an open fire or bought from the numerous open air 'bakeries' along the main road. It is best to make your own bread every other day or so on your trip rather than buy a large quantity before leaving as it will spoil very quickly. See recipe .
Many local spices are available, few are unfamiliar and almost all are incredible.
The former may be obtained through a number of fishermen you will encounter or you can look into getting a harvest license from the Belize government. Coconuts require a machete to open them up but unless you are highly adept at climbing trees with no branches, you should either buy what you need beforehand or come to some arrangement with one of the local children who will climb up and pick some green coconuts for you. Green coconut milk should be discarded as it is a stronger laxative than the rest of the edible parts, but the meat can be very tender and delicious. Brown coconut milk can go into making your daily bread and the meat can be roasted and eaten hot off the grill or added to rice and beans for unbeatable flavor. Restraint should be used, however, since all parts do possess some degree of laxative qualities which could exacerbate dehydration and fatigue.
