Red Orach

The vibrant red leaves can be eaten raw in salads or larger leaves cooked as a spinach alternative. Orach can reach around 6ft tall if left to grow, but best to keep it pinched for a good supply of leaves. If you allow it to go to seed in autumn you will have lots of baby orach sprouting up in spring around where the mother plant was. The seeds are also a great natural food source for birds in wintertime.
