Spinach America Seeds History

Spinach America Seeds originally came from Persia (now Iran) where it was known as aspanakh.The green, leafy vegetable made its way to China in the 7th century, when the king of Nepal sent it as a gift. it was eventually brought to Europe in the 11th century, when it was introduced to Spain by the Moors (Muslims). In fact, spinach was known as “the Spanish vegetable” in England. In the 16th century, spinach became the favorite vegetable of Catherine de Medici of the famous Medici family of the Italian Renaissance. When she left her home in Florence, Italy, to marry King Henry II of France, she brought along her own cooks.

Growing Spinach

pinach is a cool-weather crop. Plant seeds directly into the garden, four to six weeks before the last spring frost. To get better and quicker germination, soak the seeds for several hours before planting. Spinach grows well in soil that is near neutral in pH – between 6.5 and 7.5. It is not a heavy feeder, but performs best in soil that is rich in organic matter. Spinach is rarely troubled by disease problems or pests.

Preserving And Storing Spinach America Seeds

get the spinach as dry as you can, you can simply pack it into freezer bags, remove the excess air and toss it in a freezer. I like to use our vacuum sealer when I freeze stuff, so we usually make bags out of that. But freezer bags will work as will any freezer safe container. Make sure you label what it is and the date so that you know when you look in the freezer. Blanched spinach will keep about a year in the freezer. If you skipped the blanching, it will keep roughly six months.

Spinach Recipe

Popeye was the best thing that ever hit the spinach industry. When I was a kid you couldn’t pay me to eat lima beans or peas, but spinach? I begged for it; we all did.
