Did you know?
It is unrelated to true spinach yet does what spinach cannot in heat: keep producing leaves through summer without bolting. Captain Cook's crew gathered it against scurvy.
Consumption tip
Even natural produce may carry pesticide residues. Wash fruits and vegetables under plenty of running water and discard the outer leaves of leafy greens. A short soak in vinegar water can also help reduce residues. Where possible, prefer certified organic or good-agricultural-practice products.
