50+ Strawberry Spinach Seeds- Goosefoot-Chenopodium Filiosum-Strawberry Sticks-Beetberry--Sweet and Mild Flavored Annual-D025
Strawberry spinach is an herbaceous annual that produces gently toothed, spade-shaped leaves and berry-like red fruits on long spindly stems. It can reach heights of one meter and is entirely edible from roots to seeds. The tender leaves are slightly thinner than traditional spinach varieties, with a similar taste and slightly earthy finish. The mildly sweet-tart berries are dense clusters of small seedy vesicles, similar to that of a mulberry. Underground, the parsnip-like tap root is sweet and crisp, marbled with streaks of beet red and white. Dinner and dessert all in one place!
The leaves of Stawberry Spinach are triangular, toothy and are best enjoyed raw. The berries come on later in the season and are comparable to mulberries; mild flavoured and sweet. Strawberry Spinach is a relative of lambs quarters and is also known as Beetberry, Goosefoot and Strawberry Blite. This plant thrives in full Sun and rich, well draining soil.
