[@LetsFaceThis]

📌 Callaloo is the national dish of Trinidad and Tobago! 🇹🇹 In Trinidad and Tobago, the term "callaloo" refers to a dish made from the young leaves of the dasheen plant, cooked down in coconut milk, okra, and seasonings. Interestingly, the Jamaican callaloo, which is amaranth, is known as Chorai Bhagi. 🌿 Both versions are packed with nutrients and loved for their rich, earthy flavor!

[@curtisthomas2670]

Trinidad callaloo dish can also be made with Jamaican callaloo bush, which is more often called spinach in Trinidad and Tobago

Callaloo is the best. Love it with Saltfish or even add it on some fried chicken back 😋 . I never buy chopped callaloo. 😕

[@vbrown6445]

How did KZbin know I just made callaloo last night? I swear they're watching us! In any case, great video and very thorough. My dad grows callaloo in his summer garden, cleans it, chops it, and gives it out to our family members (we are in Maryland). We freeze the uncooked callaloo in portions, and take out to cook when we want it.

[@BizJetDriver305]

I was searching for this exact video 3 days ago when I was making Callaloo and saltfish. Glad to see you put one out as your videos have become the best guide to any JA cooking on KZbin imo. I guess this means I’m having callaloo next week too 😂

[@jaycee157]

For sure his recipes are the better ones for Jamaican recipes

[@nikelnicole]

Wow. I love your presentation.

[@shirletwilson636]

Grow up eating callaloo and boc choy when I lived Jamaica. The other one we use to eat it when we visit country. Who remember rundown. Thanks to my dad’s botanical experience working at hope botanical garden. I don’t eat any animals so this is one of my favourite plant to eat. ❤yum

[@xwhite3660]

Great video… very good job.

[@noreennicholson8988]

Good morning, Nick . Thank you for another interesting and educational vlog. Calaloo is one of my favourite vegetables 😋. The way you've prepared it would be nice with anything 😋 delicious. I would stuff some of that deliciousness in my fish, wrap it up in parchment paper, then wrap that up in foil, then bake that in the oven for about 20 min. Mmmm, nice 👌🏾 👍🏾. Blessings and more blessings to you and your family🙏🏾✨️. One love 💙 ❤️ 🇯🇲 💯 💐💐

[@feedandteach]

Thank you! That fish sounds like a great video idea!

[@noreennicholson8988]

@feedandteach you're more than welcome. Yeah, that would be nice. The cooking time might vary depending on the size and quality fish. I use a fish called sea bass in the UK. Texture would be like a yellow tail snapper. 😊👍🏾

[@BicheBug1996]

​@@feedandteach In Trinidad one is Spinach leaves the huge leaves are dasheen bush which we make Callaloo with ,,, the callaloo is the dish you make with the leaves,,,,,,, Please you mix up the terms .......CALLALOO IS THE DISH MADE FROM THOSE TWO PLANT LEAVES

[@eleanorhunt273]

Very enticing. Sadly, where I reside. Only one Callaloo plant grew. Upon the allotment. Due to the adverse weather conditions. Rationing, has therefore become the only way to add it to my required dishes!

The Trinidad and Tobago callaloo dish can also be made with Jamaican callaloo bush

[@dinagreaves6686]

😋 😋 👍🏽 ❤

[@whiskyjames4200]

I cut, sort, clean and then zip lock and wrap them in brown paper bags and freeze them. They last for months.

[@dawntyrrell7458]

there is something wrong with the sound volume...the music is clear, but your voice is very distant... but otherwise, excellent and informative video!

[@feedandteach]

Thanks for the feedback! I'm working on fine tuning the audio

[@chrishamilton1117]

Calaloo is an African word for leafy green vegetable, just like the word spinach. That's why the word is used in different Caribbean countries.

[@NativeNomad10]

Callaloo is a Jamaican Patois word for the caribbean Amaranth that's derived from the African word Kalulu. This word was adopted by other Caribbean countries to call a dish callaloo.

[@chrishamilton1117]

@NativeNomad10 calulu is an African dish brought to the Caribbean by African slaves. In the 17th century the French changed the spelling to Callalou. Then spelling of this word had been changed several times as time went by.

[@BicheBug1996]

ONE IS SPINACH ONE IS ACTUALLY CALLALOO BUSH FROM THE DASHEEN PLANT

[@Ol-Sound-bwoy]

Wah happen, young people nuh strip callaloo

[@jayanthony3121]

Dry thyme is a scam lol 😂

[@bnepaul9268]

I dont think dasheen is calaloo,

[@curtisthomas2670]

ln Trinidad and Tobago it is. Jamaican callaloo bush is called spinach or bhagee in T&T

[@whiskyjames4200]

My wife loves it in anything, every time. My family and I grow it. So, we don't buy it... period!

[@franklinchinquee4293]

My dad usually just cook the calaloo with salt & a lot of freshly crushed garlic - very nice!?
