Prep notes
Wild spinach. More protein and vitamin A than garden spinach, less oxalate drama. Dusty white young leaves are the tender ones.
Season
Often seasonal where grown; year-round when imported or stored.

Grocery / shop food data only. Not a wild forage guide. Thrive shows composition curiosity — not medical advice.
