Fast growing spinach with large dark-green leaves and full, rich flavor. This is a fabulous open-pollinated spinach that rivals hybrid plants in growth and productivity. Good for growing in containers and great for winter growing in coldframes and hoophouses because of it's fast growth and cold hardiness. Like any spinach, it will bolt in the heat of the summer so be sure to plant it early spring or late summer. Bred in Germany using Biodynamic growing methods. Has some resistance to downy mildew. Eat baby leaves raw or cook the mature leaves and stems. Packed with nutrients and goodness, spinach is so versatile in the kitchen - add it to almost any dish raw or cooked! Inspired by local restaurant Earthen Jar, Mike likes to make "Saag Tofu" which is a vegetarian version of the traditional Indian dish Saag Paneer. 40 days to maturity.
