WHAT IS CALLALOO?????????????????????????
Callaloo is a large leafed dark green vegetable which often grows wild in the Caribbean, particularly on river banks. Never, never eat it raw as it stings the mouth and throat (I know). Treat it like spinach, but cook it longer, say a minimum of 25 to 30 minutes. It has a rich and delicious taste
It is a leafy green grown in Caribbean countries.Similiar to spinach, kale, swiss chard...Can be found canned in International food stores but nothing beats fresh!
