If you've enjoyed the flavors of amaranth, lamb's quarter, or goosefoot in your salads or micro-greens.
The young seedlings of this unique variety exhibit a vibrant red hue before transitioning to a lambs quarter-like appearance with reddish undersides and crisp leaves. Adding this to your salad mix not only imparts a wilder aesthetic but also enhances the taste experience. As the plant matures, both the leaves and seed heads transform into a striking bright red, offering a visually appealing and flavorful addition to your culinary endeavors.

This unique goosefoot species has historical significance, being associated with the Old Peoples of the New World. Its presence extends from the tropical cave-sheltering tribes in the south India. Archeological findings suggest a connection between the agricultural practices of these cultures and the degree of seed coat thinning, indicative of domestication, observed in seeds from midden sites compared to wild seeds of the same era.

The plant itself presents an intermediate appearance, sharing characteristics with both lambs quarter and quinoa, including seed size and seed coat thickness. Recommended for use in salads, this variety offers a delightful combination of sweet and salty flavors. Germinating within three days, the seeds exhibit a reliability comparable to quinoa, surpassing that of lamb's quarter. Embrace the historical Spinach in your garden and kitchen.
