A native to Australia and New Zealand where it is known as Native Spinach, Warrigal Greens and New Zealand spinach. The stems are trailing and branching with succulent fleshy edible green leaves and small yellow daisy like flowers.

This spinach is valued because of its high vitamin A, vitamin B2 and vitamin C content.

Pick leaves off the stem. Blanch Warrigal greens for 3 minutes and drain the liquid before consuming the cooked greens to get rid of the oxalates which are naturally occurring in leafy greens (similar to rhubarb and regular spinach).
