Malabar Poi Indian Dark Green Spinach, Green Round Leaf, Madhuri, भारतीय गहरा हरा पालक
Malabar spinach plants grow in India and throughout the tropics, primarily in the moist lowlands. While the dark green leaves resemble those of spinach, this is a vine type of plant that thrives in hot temps, even exceeding 90 F. (32 C.) Cool temperatures cause Malabar spinach to creep. It is grown as an annual, but grows like a perennial in regions that are frost free.
Malabar Spinach is a rapid growing Indian spinach. Leaves are broad, dark green and thick. The plants are very tender and attractive. Repeated harvest can start 25 days after planting.
