Description:
- Warrigal greens have fleshy, succulent leaves that range from bright green to reddish-green in color.
- They grow on sprawling vines that can reach up to 2 meters in length.
- The leaves have a slightly salty and spinach-like flavor with a hint of bitterness.
Uses:
- Culinary: Warrigal greens are a great substitute for spinach in any recipe. They can be eaten raw in salads, steamed, boiled, stir-fried, or sautéed.
- They can also be blanched before using to remove some of the bitterness.
- You can use them to make pesto, dips, soups, stews, or add them to omelets and frittatas.
- Their flavor pairs well with garlic, lemon, olive oil, feta cheese, and other Mediterranean ingredients.
Nutritional Value:

- You can also grow them yourself in your garden, or forage for them in coastal areas (with proper identification and permission).
Selection and Storage:

- Avoid wilted or yellowing leaves.
- Store warrigal greens in the refrigerator in a breathable container for up to 3 days.
Cooking Tips:
- You don't need to remove the stems from young warrigal greens, as they are tender and edible.
