Malabar Spinach Fresh leaves

Malabar spinach, also called Basella alba or vine spinach, is a leafy green vegetable widely enjoyed in tropical regions worldwide. It has a tender and chewy texture, combined with a mild and slightly sweet taste, making it a versatile ingredient for many dishes. Some compare its flavor to that of Swiss chard, while others describe it as having hints of citrus or sorrel.

We take pride in providing organic produce that is free from harmful chemicals, herbicides, or pesticides. Our produce is carefully hand-picked and packed on the same day of delivery to ensure optimal freshness, flavor, and nutritional value.
