If you garden, try mache also called corn salad. It looks and tastes like fresh spinach but has 4 times the iron and vitamin C. It grows like a weed and doesn’t bolt (go to seed in hot weather as fast as spinach.

Wow. Thanks.

I’m gonna order some seeds and try it.

Today, I just got done harvesting a bunch of New Zealand spinach. Another plant much like spinach - but it doesn’t bolt, it does very well in dryer climates and warmer conditions than any kind of spinach I’ve tried.
