Green "Callaloo" Amaranth

**THIS ITEM IS SOLD OUT FOR THE SEASON**Seed Count: Approx. 200 seeds Days to Maturity: 90-120 days Description:  Green Callaloo, just like other amaranth varieties, is super easy to grow.  The smooth bright green leaves have a tangy spinach like taste, and is often used like spinach. The young leaves can be used fresh in salads, and the more mature leaves should be cooked, and can be used in stir fries, soups and stews.  However, this green is precious to us in the Caribbean, and we make a "Callaloo" dish that is slightly similar to Southern collard greens with them, but it is most widely known in Callaloo seafood soup.  Amaranth is very heat tolerant, and is a great variety of greens in areas that are really hot.  It is super hardy, nutritious, resilient, and prolific.  Try Callaloo sauteed with onion, garlic, thyme, chopped tomatoes, and some scotch bonnet.  You can serve this dish with saltfish, johnny cakes, breadfruit, and boiled green plantains, if you wish to really partake in
