Giant Noble Spinach Seeds - Spinacia Oleracea - Delicious & Vigorous
Quantity: 200 Seeds
Giant Noble Spinach, aka Spinacia Oleracea, is a tried and true heirloom vegetable. It’s a member of the Amaranth family, Amaranthaceae, and originates in Iran. It lives as an annual and can be grown in zone 2 or higher. Spinach is known to bolt in hot weather, and although this variety is no different, Giant Noble has superior heat tolerance compared to other cultivars. It's also the largest spinach of all as the leaves can grow to 2 feet long in ideal conditions, all while retaining its tender texture. The young leaves work well as an ingredient in salads, while the larger leaves are best used in soup, stir fry, or simply sautéed on their own.
All seeds are organic and open pollinated.
