Spinach substitutes
During this our hour of dire deprivation, what are
we to do for shiny, rubbery leafy greens? Kale? Collards? I say there is one agricultural niche that has been handed the ball and given a gigantic hole just off-tackle. I am speaking of none other than: Kudzu As we know (for Alton Brown hath spaketh it into a digicam and we buyeth everything he selleth) the Kudzu plant is nearly or actually or vegetably 100% edible, and may be tasty and nutritious besides. Personally, I hope these guys get their windfall together and we start seeing bags of pre-washed Kudzu on the shelves so the world economy can get back on track and Popeye can be properly 'shopped to show the new world an old botanical castoff in a favorable light. --Blair "I bet it rocks the balsamic." |

I was one of those people who used a lot of baby spinach in my tossed
green salads. I've switched to baby arugula. And, I've discovered, I actually like it better. Myrl Jeffcoat http://www.myrljeffcoat.com |

Sheldon wrote: > Beet tops rule. > > http://www.medicinalfoodnews.com/vol07/issue4/beets Yes, yes, yes! I had never tried any beet tops before this beginning of summer, and only did because of another's tell. At the local Farmers Market while playfully (though half serious) fighting another shopper over the beet bunches, he challenged me by saying I could have my choice only if I gave him the tops. His pal entered our play spat by warning me that steamed beet tops could very well replace spinach in my life forever. Since that day I not only pick my beets carefully, the tops I'll enjoy are examined well also. ....Picky |

We grow them and think they're even better -- more tender, lighter -- than the red beet tops. -aem |

You would not have to find a substitute for spinach if the idiots that pick
the stuff would stop having a dump in the fields. THERE IS NO SUBSTITUTE FOR SPINACH!!!! Farmer John |
