About this variety

All Green is India's most widely grown spinach-beet (palak) type, an open-pollinated variety with large, flat, smooth, dark green leaves that bundle well for the fresh market. It comes to its first cut in about 28–32 days and, if fed and watered after every cut, regrows quickly for several more flushes over two to three months. Its dependable performance and wide availability make it the default choice for growers across nearly every state.
