Market Watch: Callaloo
Posted by: Howard on July 24th, 2010
Regular Market Watch readers know that I get excited when I see something that I haven’t seen before, let alone never heard of. Callaloo is also known as amaranth, which I have heard of. Callaloo is also the name of a dish made with this leafy green and is very popular in the Caribbean. It’s similar to spinach, the man at Bradley Farms told me, though when you cook it the color will leach out and stain the rest of the food. I’m looking forward to finding out.

You can get this in Chinese supermarket or in Chinatown. I cook this with garlic and olive oil. Yes. Beware of the red stain. :)
thanks for the warning.
Sort of looks like coleus plants – same coloring. Wonder if they are in the same family? I never heard of eating coleus, though.
