Malabar Spinach. The Spinach That Loves Summer!

When the summer heat sends regular spinach running, Malabar spinach is just getting started. Despite its name, it isn't true spinach. It's a tropical vine that absolutely thrives in hot, humid weather. While traditional spinach bolts and turns bitter, Malabar spinach keeps producing all summer long. It takes the heat like a champ!

Give it a sturdy trellis, fence, or teepee and watch it climb 8 to 10 feet or more. The deep purple stems, glossy heart-shaped leaves, and tiny white flowers make it just as ornamental as it is productive.

The leaves have a mild spinach flavor with a slight citrusy note. Young leaves are great fresh in salads, while mature leaves are excellent in soups, stir-fries, curries, omelets, pasta dishes, smoothies, and casseroles. They also hold up much better to cooking than regular spinach.

One of my favorite ways to cook it is about as simple as it gets:

1️⃣ Heat a little olive oil or butter in a skillet.
2️⃣ Add 2 to 3 cloves of minced garlic and cook for about 30 seconds.
3️⃣ Toss in a handful of Malabar spinach leaves.
4️⃣ Cook for 2 to 3 minutes until just wilted.
5️⃣ Finish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice, salt, and black pepper.

One thing you'll notice is the leaves have a little natural mucilage, giving soups and sauces a slightly thicker texture. That's one reason it's so popular in many Asian and Indian dishes.

If you've given up trying to grow spinach through the heat of summer, this might become your new favorite leafy green. It's productive, beautiful, easy to grow, and keeps right on climbing when other greens have called it quits.

Have you ever grown Malabar spinach? What's your favorite way to use it? #
