Estimated Inventory, lb : 0
Description/Taste
Red spinach produces dark green glossy leaves with deep wine-red veins and stems that keep their color when cooked. They are round and smooth with just a slightly crumpled surface. Red spinach has a sweet vegetal flavor and a nutty finish. Its delicate texture usually lends it to raw applications, and when cooked it loses most of its volume.
Seasons/Availability
Red spinach is available year-round with peak harvests during the cool temperatures of spring and fall.
