Organic 3" Starts. Giant Winter Spinach has a rich, earthy flavor with a slightly sweet and nutty undertone. It is heartier and more robust than standard spinach, with thicker leaves that develop a deeper, more complex taste, especially after exposure to cold temperatures. The frost enhances its natural sweetness, making it less bitter than some other spinach varieties. When eaten raw, it has a crisp yet tender texture, perfect for fresh salads and sandwiches. When cooked, it becomes soft and velvety, with a rich, savory depth, making it excellent for sautés, soups, and stews.
