Red Malabar Spinach Seeds -- minimum of 50

Malabar spinach is a tropical leafy green that was named after a coastal region in southwestern India. It is botanically not a true spinach yet it resembles it. The dark green, glossy, oval or heart-shaped leaves and shoots can be eaten raw in salads or cooked. The taste of Malabar spinach is mild, similar to spinach, with peppery notes and a hint of citrus. Malabar spinach grows vertically and needs a trellis to support its fast growth. In hot climates with frost-free winters, you can grow it as a perennial, otherwise it is an annual. It is not only an edible plant, but also an attractive addition to a garden bed, especially the red-leaf variety. Annual in most growing zones but can be a perennial in zones 7 and above.
