Cook as you would spinach - lightly steamed or stir-fried to retain colour, flavour and nutrients.

Supplied as a packet of 150 (approx.) seeds ready to sow outdoors from April to mid-July, directly into their cropping position in well-drained, fertile soil. Harvest mid-July to November and if protected over winter will produce an early spring crop.
