Aztec Red Spinach/Huauzontle - (Chenopodium berlandieri) |
|
|
Has few equals as a summer spinach crop as heat only produces a larger crop of leaves. Lower leaves turn bright red as they mature and hold their color in cooking (only 30-60 seconds in boiling water) Seed-heads can be stir-fried and seeds used for red tortillas or sprouts (red sprouts!)

My New Favorite! |
| This plant has super maximum germination, super fast growth, and tastes delicious! My plants are 5 weeks old and 18 inches tall and 18 across. And the color is nothing like the photo. Mine are the most incredible greenish-red color! I am in the tropics, so perhaps its because of the heat. Let me know if you want photos. I used it to make pesto with a little basil. Yum!
And why does it look almost identical to Amaranth? |
