Celosia is featured in the Lost Crops of Africa as an important and beautiful green vegetable. While we primarily know it for itâs gorgeous flowers, shown here through a loupe (except that center photo - I snuck a dahlia in), in places like Nigeria, Benin, and Congo, itâs nutritious, protein-rich, and stamina-building greens âare primarily eaten in a dish prepared from various vegetable greens, combined with onion, eggplant, hot peppers, palm oil (or other vegetable oil), and fish or meat. Sometimes, peanut butter is also added as a thickener. All the ingredients are added to one pot, and brought to a steady boil to produce a tasty and nutritious âsoup.ââ We offer seeds for this âFeathery Plume Celosiaâ Truelove Seeds, and while we primarily grow them as cut flowers and as a seed crop, we sometimes also prepare them as callaloo. #featheryplumecelosia #celosiaargentea #plumecelosia #lostcropsofafrica #seedkeeping #seedsaving https://www.instagram.com/p/B3lKTIogZbr/?igshid=2hetvi0cd12k
