You are such a good content provider and family man, one piece of advice from me is, always use freshly ground pepper from the best pepper corns you can get because the oils in the pepper corns are very good for you and if the pepper isn’t freshly ground the oils have already dried up. Thanks for the recipe!
Thank you I want to grow some right here in US Virgin Islands because when I was growing up that used to grow wild on my dad's farm in St Croix Virgin Islands...and I saw the other video on how to cut the callaloo...awesome explanation on both videos very nice thanks!
I am Jamaican and we add butter and vegetable oil in our calalloo. We don't use the bell pepper. We cut some slices of the scotch bonnet to make ours spicy
Bahamas is in the house, thank you so much I appreciate watching your cooking I have calaloo in my garden watching you it was a lot of wisdom God bless.
Looks delicious! Thanks for sharing. I've learned a lot from watching your videos. I can't wait for mine to yield. Peace and blessings to you and yours.
ohhhh my grandmother in the Philippies love this plant.. ours is the wild and smaller variety though :) very healthy! quite surprised that you have it there.... Thanks for showing another way to cook this
These greens look delicious, I love any kind of greens. I've never heard of this vegetable. Does it taste like kale? Do they sell it here in the States?
It’s more along the lines of spinach but not as delicate. It’s sold in some states in the U.S. normally at a Caribbean market and sometimes Asian or Latin markets will sell it.
It a variety of amaranth (like what you get the health food "grain" from). Can get it at African, Asian, Caribbean or Latin American markets. May be called spinach or bhaji in some Caribbean islands. It also grows wild in many parts of the South US, sometimes called "pigweed" Seeds available in plant shops, many varieties, some with different or multicolored leaves.
Listen to me mon.......don't do it again without giving me a shout. I love my callaloo badly. It looks so soft and pretty. Bless up yuhself. By the way I just found your channel and subscribe.
Thanks dear. I avoid washing direct into the sink, as the sink even if is clean, still it has some germs as the drainage has lots of bacterias. It's good if we use a big dish as well as colender to wash vegetables and fruits and all sorts of foods
Thank you for a great video Mike, can I use coriander instead of thyme? I’m just trying to find out everything I can about Callaloo as I have never eaten or grown it or heard of it before! I was given 3 little plants and wondering how to keep them alive during our UK 🇬🇧 winter!
One variety of Jamaican or Caribbean Amaranth or Caribbean spinach. There are MANY varieties, native to the Caribbean, Latin America, US South, even Asia, different colors and sizes.

Lovely ..I never fold mine like you did..gonna try this way ..thanks
It makes it so much easier to get them processed quicker! Give it a try and you will not go back to the old way of cutting it
I have only eaten callaloo while visiting Jamaica. I will like to grow some.
I am Jamaican and we add butter and vegetable oil in our calalloo. We don't use the bell pepper. We cut some slices of the scotch bonnet to make ours spicy
I'm Jamaican as well. We like ours colorful and we do not cut the scotchie in our house because we like the flavor but not the fire.
Love your video! Thank you, and blessings.

Looks delicious, easy and healthy! I'm gonna have to try me some of this callaloo! I will have to see if it's something I can grow in my zone.
Callaloo is new to me, but the finished dish looks delicious.
These greens look delicious, I love any kind of greens. I've never heard of this vegetable. Does it taste like kale? Do they sell it here in the States?
It’s compared to collared greens all the time. It’s so nutritious and tasty

Looking delicious Mike

If you wash your sink it should be fine. That’s why soap and water goes together to clean stuff.
In Trinidad that is not what we use to make colaloo.This looks delicious and amazing
What Trinis call spinach or chorai bhaji is what Jamaicans call callaloo.
Looks delicious 😋. Stay safe my friend. God bless you all. 🙏
thawadah for the lesson!
Thank you very much 💖
Thanks man😁I love calaloo very delicious😁👏👏💕
Thank you.
Great video!
Loves my Jamaican callaloo
That looks delicious.
Thank of so much! 😊
Hi Mike, thanks 👍
Looks divine!
What do you use on your callaloo to make them look so good.
Neem oil and Castile soap.
Thank you
Thank you 👋🏽
Thank you for a great video Mike, can I use coriander instead of thyme? I’m just trying to find out everything I can about Callaloo as I have never eaten or grown it or heard of it before! I was given 3 little plants and wondering how to keep them alive during our UK 🇬🇧 winter!
I'm not familiar with these leaves. What root vegetable does it come from?
@HumbleServant What’s the purpose of the salt, and what kind of salt to use, coarse or regular?
Shalawam Family
Where can I get Callaloo seed to buy? Where is the Salt fish?😂😂
humbleservantsstore.etsy.com
Is this plant have a thorn?
No.
It can be called ' a cousin to spinach'
I'd say spinach is more
' refined'.😊
What variety of amaranth is this?
One variety of Jamaican or Caribbean Amaranth or Caribbean spinach. There are MANY varieties, native to the Caribbean, Latin America, US South, even Asia, different colors and sizes.
The salt is to flush out slugs and other little creatures.
Yes the salt is to get rid of bugs and slugs.
im just gon cut off the thick stalk. 🙄
The calaloo atalks is good for your kidneys
Thank you if you mom saw you cut it like that she will say don't cut your fingers off 😂
Please avoid putting food straight into the sink. It’s cleaner n healthier to use a container.
What I'm gonna do is .....I'm gonna go ahead........please stop saying that!
Hi enjoy what you do let us see what you wife can di please
Excellent!
