About Calulu

Calulu is a traditional Angolan stew popular for its rich flavors and hearty ingredients. Typically made with dried fish or meat, it combines vegetables like spinach, okra, and tomatoes with aromatic seasonings such as garlic and onions. Some variations include palm oil and beans for added depth. Known for its nutrient-rich profile, Calulu is packed with vitamins, minerals, and fiber from the diverse vegetables and proteins, supporting overall health and digestion. However, the use of palm oil and dried fish may increase its fat and sodium content, making moderation key for those watching their heart health. As a quintessential dish in Angolan cuisine, Calulu reflects the country's blend of African and Portuguese influences, both in its ingredients and preparation methods. It’s a flavorful meal that balances traditional tastes with wholesome components, making it an important staple with cultural and nutritional significance.
