  • Malabar Spinach (Basella alba) also known as Vine spinach, Ceylon spinach and Indian spinach, is a vigorous climbing vine belonging to the Basellaceae family. With an abundance of edible leaves and shoots, this plant is delicious in soups, stews, salads, smoothies, or steamed/boiled as a side dish to any main course. Malabar Spinach is not just heat tolerant, it thrives throughout the summer and into the fall. A very easy edible crop to grow!

    I bought Malabar spinach and kangkong spinach this year. They both came with the others name on them. I was so confused when they started growing and not looking like I was expecting feom watching videos on wach. I thought I had just mislabeled them when I started the seeds but nope, lol, the packages are mislabeled. Doesn't matter lol I can't wait to try them both out. God bless and happy growing everyone 💜

    Hi Dan. I had a Malabar Spinach come up in a crack in the driveway. It was close to a trellis. It covered the whole thing. I just water it. It is beautiful. Thanks for the tips.

    Grew some this summer. One plant grew over trellis and has grew several vines that I have elevated it to keep out of way of other plants. Very hearty plant that pests avoid. Sauteed with olive oil, garlic, red onions and lemon juice. It's tasty and works in pesto.

    I have both green and read varieties. They just reseed in the Spring. Been eating it since we were little. I won't eat it raw, but they now serve it as a salad at high end restaurants in Manila, Philippines.

    Asian market some time have malabar spinach. Malabar spinach can be clone just like mint/ sweer potatoes. You can place the thick trunk in water or place it in a moist medium and it will root.

    We really like malabar spinach, it’s nice and crunchy, and a great green for soup. We just had home raised rabbit soup and threw in some red malabar. Thank you for the tips! I always use the information you provide.

    The red one (Basella rubra) has a powerful antioxidant (anthocyanin) . Have you tried to grow the red Malabar Spinach?

    I tried to start some Malibar this year unsuccessfully. I did not do the soak nor scarification. I will try that next year. I have not had any luck with spinach, but I like eating it. I will keep trying until I figure it out.

    do not plant anywhere you do not want in to spread ALL over. The plant drops 1000 of seeds and will come up everywhere. Beautiful plant and so easy to grow but wish i liked the taste. 😫
    I still grow it for my friends who love it and am currently picking all of the seedlings taking over part of my garden.

  • @joselopez-he1mc
    @joselopez-he1mc 2 роки тому +5

    Caution. Its is high in mucilage which makes it slimey when cooked. I wouldnt eat it if i didnt grow up eating it. Very strong easy grower and healthy. Ive never tried it raw.

    • @iagreewithyou3478
      @iagreewithyou3478 2 роки тому +4

      Yeah, totally slimey. I hate eating it even now, but back then I was forced to eat it because my folks believed it's a good source of iron.

    I had a ton of Malabar spinach but didn't really know what to do with it. I don't like soup in the summer. Way too hot in the south for soup.
