Malabar spinach (Basella alba) is a fast-growing, heat-loving tropical vining vegetable that serves as an excellent warm-weather substitute for regular spinach. Not a true spinach, it belongs to the Basellaceae family and thrives when regular spinach bolts and dies in summer heat. Mild and earthy, similar to traditional spinach with subtle hints of pepper, citrus, or a faint earthy tang. Texture is thick and succulent with a mucilaginous (slightly slimy or gelatinous) quality when raw or overcooked, which works wonderfully for thickening soups.
Exceptionally rich in vitamins A and C, iron, calcium, and soluble dietary fiber. High in nutrients and protein relative to its low calorie volume.

WALKER COUNTY MASTER GARDENERS
TX A&M Agri-Life Extension
Master Gardeners are members of the local community who take an active interest in their lawns, trees, shrubs, flowers and gardens. They are enthusiastic, willing to learn and to help others, and able to communicate with diverse groups of people.
What really sets Master Gardeners apart from other home gardeners is their special training in horticulture. In exchange for their training, persons who become Master Gardeners contribute time as volunteers, working through their cooperative Extension office to provide horticultural information and education back to their communities. If you are interested in becoming an Extension Master Gardener, contact your AgriLife Extension office.
