DESCRIPTION
Hybrid variety spinach known for its crinkly-looking leaves and easy to clean. Mandolin spinach has deep green, glossy leaves shaped like paddles. They grow upright and are less crinkly at the baby stage, growing more savoy-like as growth progresses. It is a late season variety, extending its growth into the summer months. This spinach variety is more bolt and disease-resistant and highly recommended for the home gardener. Great for salads, but also well-suited for soups, pasta and a simple sauteed side.
