Katinte

Katinte is a large-leaved tree. It grows new shoots very quickly. Fresh, 4-5 foot long shoots with some unraveled leaves are often cut at the base and then chopped finely.

Some traditional preparations are:

Raw, with a sauce as a side dish. Cooked in with other things. Fermented similar to sauerkraut.

Some specific recipes include Kalèkh, a very common recipe.

Katinte only grows in wet, humid, tropical or near-tropical rainforests and sometimes temperatre rainforests if they aren't too cold.
