Spinach – English
Spinach – English (Spinacia oleracea) is a fast-growing, cool-season leafy vegetable prized for its tender, dark green leaves and exceptional nutritional value. Rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, English Spinach is perfect for fresh salads, smoothies, sandwiches, stir-fries, soups, pasta dishes and steaming.
