Product Information
Chenopodium giganteum
We fell in love with this plant years ago and it has become a staple in our salad mix ever since. Very closely related to the common weed lambsquarters, it ha s blush of shockingly iridescent magenta coloring around the growing tip and undersides of the leaves.  A staple food  in the Americas 4000 years ago before corn dominated the diet.  The flavor is very dense and wild and contains three times the calcium of broccoli by weight.  Thrives in summer heat and indifferent neglect.  Though not nearly as invasive as its weedy relative, it will self sow if not removed before seed set. Pick growing tips and young leaves all season until flowering as a stunning salad highlight.
