** Fresh callaloo is out of season until April 2023 **
Callaloo also goes by the name bhajgee (bah-gee).
Callaloo is the name used in the Caribbean to refer to the large green leaves of the taro, dasheen, tannia, amaranth, or yautia root. The Caribbean country you are in determines which vegetable is used as “callaloo.” In most preparations, it is cooked as you would prepare turnip or collard greens.
In the United Kingdom, it is often difficult to get the leafy green readily, so it is common to use spinach as a substitute. Island Fresh Foods are one of only a couple of importers of the fresh leaves in bundles, and most sellers in the UK sell the tinned variety.
