Perpetual Spinach 'Verde da Taglio'

The best tasting perpetual spinach out there - sweet, tender, verdant green leaves on slim stems. Verde da Taglio is an easy-to-grow Italian heirloom which is perfect for gardeners who want to make the most out of their growing space. A couple of sowings will provide you with year-round greens. This is one of our favourite greens in the catalogue - we grow it every year without fail.

Sow: April (undercover) & July (outside or undercover) for continuous supply.
Plant: 4 weeks after sowing, or sow direct.
Harvest: Baby leaves in 6 weeks, big leaves in 8-10 weeks. Harvest outside leaves.
Kitchen: Eat baby leaves raw and cook older leaves - steam, sautee, or braise. Cook stems a little longer than leaves. Pairs with acid (lemon, balsamic vinegar, lime), fats (goats cheese, walnuts, coconut milk, butter), salty (olives, feta, parmesan), aromatics (chilli, nutmeg, dill, fennel, thyme).
