(120 days) Open-pollinated. Callaloo is a Caribbean stew that has many local variations, and is the name of the greens and the variety of amaranth used in the dish, which also varies from island to island. This type is used in Jamaica, in the namesake dish as well as in many others. The tricolor blaze on the tall upright Callaloo in August, more red than Hopi Red Dye, will wow even the most reluctant amaranth-green eaters. Double Wow! Even eaten raw straight from the field, we found it soft smooth easy eating. Cooked with some tomatoes, peppers, onions, and garlic in a version of the stew it was tender and delicious. Cutting back the stalks for early leaf harvest only makes the plant bushier. Grow it as an ornamental and then eat it. Prefers warm conditions. Black Benefit Sharing. ③
