About Spinach

Popular since long before Popeye, spinach is indigenous to Asia and believed to have originated in ancient Persia. The leafy green initally spread east to China, and later into Europe, where it found favor with royalty and was featured in the first English language cookbook, The Forme of Curry, in 1390.

Spinach Varieties and Seasons

Major types of Spinach include Flat Leaf, typically cultivated for sale as baby greens,  and Savoy, which is darker green with crinkly, curly leaves. We grow Semi-Savoy varieties Regal and Tyee during spring, fall and winter, and Perpetual Gator – technically a chard – during summer months when it’s too warm for true Spinach.
