I agree Malabar Spinach is a great new substitute for other fresh salad greens. Yes! It holds up well for many days after it's been harvested. Yes! It is delicious, with a crisp "bite" and wonderful flavor. And yes, when cooked it takes on a spinachy texture and okra-lovers will delight in it's final notes. But NO NO NO...it is not spinach and it is rather unfair to paste our western sentiments on this far east vegetable that has millions (maybe billions now) all across the orient. You know. The orient. Korea, India, Ceylon, China. Those thousand year-old plus cultures. Big grin. My family loves it all kinds of ways, in soups, in salads, steamed, blah blah, blah blah... But I never refer to it as that "other name". I simply call it Malabar. It is almost voting day, and the trellis outside my Savannah GA front door is still making an impressive show of this prolific vine. Wanna know. Go to You Tube and search using that "other name". Or click on this link to see others state their opinions 'cause I'm kinda bias. Farewell, and healthy eating to y'all. Mr Donald Yes!
