Malabar Spinach for serious preppers (a lot of vegetable matter/packed with nutrients).

aka Ceylon spinach, climbing spinach, gui, acelga trapadora, bratana, libato, vine spinach and Malabar nightshade.

It's not a real spinach and it has an earthy taste but it's full of goodness and such an efficient plant in that just one would probably equal a couple of rows of traditional spinach!

A good filler food in soup especially.

"The vine should be trellised and two plants are sufficient for most families through the summer and fall growing season.".

We have 7 pushing 6 foot this year.
They were topped over winter and should bush nicely.
My source was straight from South Africa 2yrs ago from 8 loose shipped seeds in a box of shirts
