Callaloo Amaranth Greens
Tasty, quick-growing, self-sowing hot-weather greens popular throughout the African diaspora and in Asian cuisines, where the abundant leaves are usually eaten cooked and sometimes referred to as Chinese spinach. The upright branched plants can reach 6–8 feet tall in favorable conditions, tolerate poor soil, root knot nematodes, and bacterial wilt, and self-sow readily for a continuous harvest.
