Amaranthus tricolor
A nutritious leafy green vegetable well suited to warmer areas. Also known as Red Stripe Leaf or Tampala, this Chinese spinach produces attractive green leaves with a red splash through the centre. Fast growing and best grown with successive sowings. Harvest the whole plant while young to avoid bitterness and toughness. Young leaves have a sweet, tangy flavour and should be cooked before eating to reduce oxalates and nitrates.
