Callaloo

Nutritious Green Vegetable

Callaloo is a popular Caribbean dish, originating from West Africa, made from leafy greens like taro (dasheen) or amaranth, often stewed or blended into a soup or thick side dish with ingredients like okra, coconut milk, onions, garlic, and peppers. It's a staple in many Caribbean countries, served as a gravy for rice and meat or as a standalone soup, and can be adapted with additions like crab, pumpkin, or salted meat.
