Actually a leaf beet, not true spinach. Grows year-round, rarely bolts. The most reliable 'spinach' for UK gardens.
Flavour
Mild, slightly earthy flavour with a hint of sweetness, less bitter than true spinach.
In the kitchen
Ideal for quick wilting over hot coals or wrapping in foil packets on the BBQ, retaining a tender texture and fresh flavour.
Growing
Thrives in well-drained soil with consistent moisture; rarely bolts, making it perfect for continuous harvesting throughout the year.
