Similar to the popular Tatsoi, but larger and more ruffled. Very easy to grow during our cooler months and suitable as a spinach substitute due to it's mild flavor when harvested young and similar looking leaves. Recommended by our friends at Siembra Farm because of it's consumer appeal as a "spinach" knock-off that is much easier to grow than real spinach for the average gardener (and us too)!

It will produce seed here which is awesome! The only draw back is that as temperatures warm, it starts to become attractive to beetles and other insects, so leaving it in the field longer for seeds may mean more attention to dealing with insect pressure. The flowers are gorgeous and very attractive to pollinators, as well as being edible.
