Haitian LALO - What is it called in English?
Lalo is called JUTE in English. Since Haitians only cook the lalo leaves, Lalo is therefore Jute Leaves.
Here is the funny thing. As much as Haitians love to eat the jute leaves or LALO, Wikipedia seem to focus more on jute fiber which I hear nothing about in Haiti.
Feel like eating some Legume Lalo today?
Allow me to tease you with this Chodye Legume Lalo LOL...
What happens to the lalo plant in Haiti once the leaf is consumed?
I don't know but I read on Wikipedia that Jute (the fiber not the leaves) is one of the most affordable natural fibers and second only to cotton in the amount produced and variety of uses.
Makes me wonder how Haitians make use of the lalo/jute plant after we eat the leaves.
