Magenta Spreen, Purple Goosefoot, Giant Lambsquarters is a very large annual leafy vegetable that grows over 8 feet tall. It is also known as Tree Spinach
It is a leafy green which tastes very much like chard or spinach with a hint of asparagus when cooked. The best tasting parts of the plant are the tender growing tips, which can be harvested continuously, the plant becoming bushy. This plant, a relative of quinoa, has edible seeds which can be cooked or ground into flour. The plant contains good amounts of vitamins A, C, and K, and calcium, iron, phosphorus, potassium, and saponins
The plant grows particularly well in full sun or partial shade. If a sufficient number of seeds are sown, it makes high quality green manure. It is resistant to many pests and is easy to grow. The leaves are triangular and green, apart from the leaves at the growing tips of the plant which are magenta-tipped and covered in a fine iridescent magenta dust
A tall relative of lamb’s quarters, this fast growing plant has large, edible leaves that taste great and are high in fibre with a reddish magenta color. Use the young, mineral-rich, magenta tipped leaves raw in salad mixes.seeds can be grinded to make gluten free flour, birds also love these seeds.
Resow regularly for continuous harvests April through autumn.
