This perennial vining spinach-like plant is rich in Vitamins A and C, iron, calcium, protein, magnesium, phosphorus, and potassium. It is also said to be high in antioxidants. It can be eaten raw or cooked and will thrive in our Florida summers. Malabar spinach likes full sun and will need to be kept moist. It is a climbing vine so using a trellis or a tree for support is advised.
