Description
Brazilian Spinach is a low-growing, leafy green vegetable prized for its crisp texture and slightly succulent leaves. Also known as Sambu or Sisso, this plant is a popular perennial in tropical regions, where it is cultivated both for its edible leaves and as an attractive ground cover.
Brazilian Spinach thrives in warm, humid climates and prefers partial shade, making it an excellent choice for tropical gardens. The plant produces dense, bright green leaves that are slightly crinkled, which can be harvested regularly for use in salads, stir-fries, or as a steamed green. The leaves have a mild, slightly nutty flavor, making them a versatile addition to many dishes.
