Lush. Succulent. Rich in Tropical Vitality.

At Akorr, we source exceptional greens  that thrive in every season. Our Malabar Spinach (often called Indian or Climbing Spinach) is not a true spinach, but a robust, succulent vine cultivated for its ability to deliver tender, nutritious greens even when summer temperatures soar. With a mild, slightly peppery and citrusy flavor, and heart-shaped leaves that are thick and glossy, this green is a vibrant addition to the kitchen.

Malabar Spinach is a powerhouse, boasting levels of Vitamin A and C that surpass many traditional greens. Its unique, thick texture holds up beautifully in soups and curries, where it can also act as a natural, mild thickener. Enjoy the young leaves raw for a crisp bite, or cook them lightly to release their full, earthy flavor.

  Why Akorr Malabar Spinach?

Akorr Malabar Spinach is grown on sturdy vertical trellises, ensuring the vines receive ample sunlight and air circulation, resulting in clean, unblemished leaves. We harvest the tender young shoots and leaves, which have the best flavor and texture, guaranteeing a high-quality product ready for your Southeast Asian and tropical-inspired cuisine.

• Not a True Spinach: It belongs to the Basellaceae family, making it distinct from traditional spinach, which thrives in cooler weather.

  A Natural Thickener: Due to its slightly succulent nature (like okra), the cooked leaves and stems are often used to naturally thicken stews, curries, and lentil-based dishes.
• 
  
  Ornamental Beauty: Its vigorous, vining habit and, in the 'Rubra' variety, beautiful red stems, also make it a popular choice for ornamental and edible gardening.

Q: How should I store Malabar Spinach? A: Store it unwashed in the refrigerator crisper drawer in a loosely sealed bag; it will keep for a few days. You can also place the cut stems in a jar of water and cover the leaves loosely with a plastic bag. Q: Is it slimy when cooked? A: The leaves have a slightly mucilaginous or "slimy" texture, similar to cooked okra. Many people enjoy this quality, as it helps naturally thicken stews and curries. Q: What dishes is it best in? A: It is excellent in stir-fries, Southeast Asian curries, Indian dals, and soups. The young leaves can also be added raw to salads for a crisp, peppery note.
