Okra. Know your fruit/vegetable. Biologically classified as a fruit, okra is generally utilized like a vegetable in cooking

What we call callaloo is Amaranth, you go that part right. Trinidadian and other callaloos on the other hand are not synonymous with amaranth, theirs is eddo leaf (Colocasia), the corms of which we label coco.
