I am a Trinidadian who loves cooking callaloo from home, now living in Canada. Yes the idea of using scallops in this dish is great. Oh yes, you can buy fresh taro or callaloo leaves/bush and place it in a freezer type ziplock bag for about 3 weeks - Oh yes donot wash the leaves before freezeing. The taro leaves uncooked freezes well. Take it out 4 hours before cooking time to use. Enjoy.

I'm experimenting this week with inflating the bags I'm storing my greens in instead of squeezing all the air out. I really don't know if that's going to make them rot faster or slower. I'll report in my wrap up post when the new share arrives.

Storage was one of the issues I had two years ago when I did CSA. I wrote a little post on storing lettuce as a result of it (with the help of Margie). Wish I had done CSA this year!

Here's another CSA lesson:
DON'T JUST THROW YOUR GREENS INSIDE THE FRIDGE UNPROTECTED! Put them in a plastic bag & close it before storing them in your veggie drawer. If they're already slightly limp from sitting in the warmth, sprinkle a few drops of water in with them. They'll stay fresh a LONG time!
