Estimated Inventory, lb : 0
Description/Taste
Producing leaves that are a bit bigger and somewhat crinkly, Bloomsdale spinach offers a never-bitter, sweet flavor. Bloomsdale spinach has a more substantial, winter greens taste and texture than standard spinach and has longer, thin, edible stems on each leaf.
Seasons/Availability
Bloomsdale spinach is available year-round.
Applications
Similar to Savoy spinach, both in flavor and size, this variety can be cooked for longer periods of time, and holds its shape and texture well but is delicate enough to use as a salad green. Ideal for sauteing and wilting, use as a substitute for collards, chard or kale. Pair with strong garlic and onion, dried fruits, citrus, pork, poultry and beef. Compliment this spinach's earthy flavor with aged cheeses, chiles, pomegranate seeds, nuts or eggs. Keep dry and refrigerated, then rinse very well before using.
