A favourite vegetable throughout the Caribbean, these high-quality vegetable seeds produce Amaranthus Callaloo with vibrant, nutritious red leaves. The leaves can be cooked similarly to spinach, while the young, tender growth is ideal for fresh use from salad seeds in a variety of salads. Hardy and reliable, amaranth copes with heat and dry conditions far better than many other leafy greens, making these vegetable seeds a great choice for warm-climate and summer gardens.
