Malabar Spinach flower buds. This climbing plant is cooked as a leafy green like spinach, and also used to thicken stews (it is mucilaginous). Originating in India, Southeast Asia, and New Guinea, it is used widely throughout tropical Asia and Africa, and has also naturalized in parts of South America, the Caribbean, and Polynesia. Though my partner has been growing this vine for years at his farm, I'm fairly new to it. Any tips/recipes/further info welcome! #malabarspinach #basellaalba #climbingspinach #creepingspinach #buffalospinach #basella #seedkeeping #seedsaving (at Delaware County, Pennsylvania)

Last time I posted about this, @tamara_stanger said to pick the bright purple buds and purée with prickly pear or other fruit! #malabarspinach #basellaalba #climbingspinach #creepingspinach #buffalospinach #basella #seedkeeping #seedsaving

Red Malabar Spinach (Basella alba) with arms in the air in unison. It is a climbing tropical perennial vegetable that is native to the Indian Subcontinent, Southeast Asia, and New Guinea. While it is cooked and eaten sort of like a more mucilaginous Spinach or Swiss Chard, it is actually in another plant family that also includes Ulluco, the gorgeous Andean tuber. #basellaceae #malabarspinach #basellaalba #seedkeeping (at Newtown Square, Pennsylvania)

Malabar climbing spinach (basella alba 'Rubra') is found in tropical Asia and Africa where it is widely used as a leaf vegetable. It is native to the Indian subcontinent, Southeast Asia and New Guinea. It is naturalised in many other tropical areas. It’s known by common names including Malabar spinach, vine spinach and Ceylon spinach, climbing spinach, gui, acelga trapadora, bratana, libato, vine spinach and Malabar nightshade. It flowers and sets seeds readily and I often have it coming up in pots or in the ground. It’s easy to transplant so I usually move these volunteers to a better spot. This is the red stemmed variety. In China the stems are used to make red dye. #flower #asian #african #vegetable #basellaalba #vegetable #climbingspinach #malabarspinach #flower #seed #mygarden #myplants #homegrown #easygrow #green #edible #leaf #bratana #libato #dye (at Belmont, New South Wales, Australia) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cbb65wApbiZ/?utm_medium=tumblr
