Callaloo: The Caribbean Superfood

The Caribbean superfood nobody talks about.

Callaloo. It's a leafy green that's basically Caribbean kale — but better. Tastes like a cross between spinach and collard greens with a slight earthy sweetness.

More iron than spinach. More calcium than milk. And Caribbean people have been eating it for centuries while everyone else is drinking green smoothies. Cooked down with onions, garlic, scotch bonnet, and thyme until it's silky and rich. Sometimes with salted cod. Sometimes with crab.

It's the original superfood. Just don't tell the wellness influencers.
