The Spinacia oleracea commonly known as America Spinach, is a fast-growing leafy green vegetable known for its tender, dark green leaves and mild, slightly sweet flavour.

 

The Latin name Spinacia oleracea comes from "spinacia," meaning "spinach," and "oleracea," meaning "vegetable," reflecting its long history as a popular and nutritious vegetable.

 

America Spinach is specifically known for its smooth, broad leaves, making it an excellent choice for both fresh salads and cooking.

 

This hardy, cool-season vegetable grows to a height of 30-45 cm and thrives in well-drained, fertile soil with full sun or partial shade. Spinach is an incredibly versatile crop that can be harvested at any stage—whether young, tender leaves for salads or mature leaves for cooking.

 

America Spinach is perfect for gardeners looking for a nutrient-dense green that can be grown in spring, autumn, or mild winter climates.
