West Coast Seeds Amaranth - Callaloo is amaranth seeds for warm season gardens, grown for cooked greens and tender leafy harvests with a classic callaloo-style use.
Callaloo amaranth is traditionally grown to produce baby leaves for the dish known as callaloo, a well-loved style of cooked greens. The leaves are described as still tender when picked young, and the flavour is noted as similar to Swiss chard, making it a natural fit for growers who want a leafy green with a familiar kitchen profile. This variety also makes excellent microgreens when you want the same crop in a smaller, quick-to-enjoy form.
Beyond greens, this is an edible plant from top to bottom, with edible leaves, flowers, and seeds noted in the product details. As it reaches maturity, the plant develops elegant, dangling flower clusters, adding visual interest in the garden while still keeping the focus on edible production.
This is a good fit for gardeners planning a full sun space and looking for a summer crop that thrives in the heat of summer. Callaloo is listed as open-pollinated, which many growers prefer for straightforward seed-grown gardening. If you want a warm season green that supports both kitchen use and garden presence, callaloo amaranth offers a simple, versatile way to grow leafy greens with a distinctive look as the plants mature.
