Callaloo

Callaloo (Amaranthus viridis) is a fast-growing leafy green commonly used in Caribbean and African cuisine. This warm-weather annual produces tender edible leaves and stems that are perfect for soups, stews, sautéed dishes, and home cooking. It thrives in full sun with moderate watering and grows well in raised beds, garden plots, and containers. Its vibrant green foliage and productive growth make it an excellent addition to edible gardens and community food spaces.
