Cooking Leaves

We are huge fans of this wonderful ‘edimental’ heirloom crop. It looks stunning in the garden, growing up to 6ft tall with antioxidant packed, intensely purple foliage, but we think this will be a big part of our future food as our summers get hotter. A striking alternative to spinach (you eat it just the same way though it is not a true spinach), it doesn’t bolt and requires very little watering.
