Edible Malabar Spinach Vines


I love my malabar spinach vines! This is the first year that we have grown them. They are beautiful and delicious! The leaves are very dense and make a good wrap that will stay together nicely. It should be noted, despite their name, they are not actually spinach. They are a summer green and are not as nutrient dense as spinach. They do contain vitamin A, folate as well as several other B vitamins, vitamin C, iron, calcium, magnesium, manganese, potassium, and fiber, but in lesser amounts than spinach.
