Baby Spinach
I'm sure this is a really dim question, but ... is baby spinach a seperate type of spinach (like baby sweetcorn), or is it just spinach leaves picked young? |

They would be called dwarf I think if they were meant to remain small. Baby spinach as far as I know are young, tender leaves that are very nice but milder flavour than a mature plant. The mature spinach can taste ....erm.. strong. An aquired taste. For my lot anyway. I like it anyway. Baz |

I've always had a hatred of salad, because I didn't like lettuce. Then I found some leaves (mostly baby leaves) that I didn't dislike as much. Then i found that if I put a particular salad dressing on them, they actually became vaguely pleasant. So I've never actually grown any kind of salad, other than the rocket that went a bit mad last year that Benjamin was meant to be doing. |
