ORACH (MOUNTAIN SPINACH)
Ruby

Brilliant magenta mountain spinach, cultivated since at least the last century. Quite striking, it makes a fine addition to salads. Magenta leaves turn green when cooked.

Suggestions: For salad greens, best if picked when leaves are young. Begin harvesting about 40 days after seeding and continue until plants begin to flower. Larger leaves can be used for steamed greens. Can be sown again as a fall crop, can be grown through the winter without cover.
