Tropical Sun Jamaican Callaloo

Jamaican callaloo falls under the vegetable category, specifically as a dark, leafy green. The plant itself is a variety of amaranth (Amaranthus viridis), and the leaves and tender stems are the edible parts.

It is comparable to other leafy greens like spinach, kale, or collard greens and is used in similar ways in cooking. In Jamaican cuisine, the prepared dish is typically classified as a popular side dish or a main component of a traditional breakfast.
