An Heirloom vegetable over 400 years old. The base-branching plants have smaller, thinner, lighter-green leaves than true Spinach but after flowering, numerous fingernail size strawberry-like fruits appear all along the stems. The fruits are edible and the plant should be treated and used as a Spinach.
Matures 40 days from direct sowing.
