Growing Notes | Malabar spinach loves it HOT! Give it enough water and it will produce edible leaves the entire summer. Soak the seeds before planting to give them a better chance of sprouting. |
Battle of the Bugs | Nothing has touched these vines so far. |
Fun Fact | Malabar spinach isn’t really a spinach. It is a leafy green though. Bonus fun fact…the plant produces purple berries (not edible) that will stain your hands bright purple (ask me how I know) 🙂 |
Don’t Waste It! | Eat it raw, or cook it just like you would spinach. |
