Tahitian Spinach

$12.90 ($12.90-$17.90 choose a size)

This particular Taro was developed for its yield of edible leaves and stems rather than its roots. The leaves and leaf stems are eaten as a cooked, green vegetable. This plant has a Weed Warning. Weed Warning: Tahitian Spinach is prone to producing a multitude of small bulbils that, if disturbed, can spread rapidly. It tends to be hard to clear out of an area because of the sheer numbers of these small bulbils. So it is best planted off in a corner or in a large pot, where it can be left undisturbed. The stems are widely used as a celery substitute in tropical areas. They provide protein, calcium, phosphorus, iron, potassium and vitamins A, B, and C. The leaves can be harvested all year round. No Taro should ever be eaten raw, due to the presence of harmful oxalates, which are eliminated with cooking.

Brazilian Sissoo Spinach

I have attempted to grow various types of spinach with limited success. Brazilian spinach, being a hardy plant, is expected to withstand Melbourne's winter. Additionally, it serves as an alternative to the plant known as Ponnanganni Keerai in Tamil, which is commonly used in India. I have started growing Brazilian spinach inside a greenhouse and plan to gradually spread it around the backyard.

Brazilian Sissoo Spinach

I planted this in a bad position where an asparagus soon completely covered it. It survived. After a year I moved it to a spot that is still shady but does get more light and it started thriving. Tastes great and super easy to grow cuttings.

BAMBAROO, QLD, Australia

A good year round supplier of leafy greens.  Good spinach substitute for tropical climate.  Should be cooked if consumed in large amounts due to oxalic acid content. Can be eaten raw in salads, etc but consumption should be restricted of the raw leaf...

Great replacement for spinach when it's to hot and lettuce and English spinach go to bolt. Growing great in a pot only need to water once a week. This has done great in Melbourne. I love it.
