The seed is very small and takes 10-12 days to emerge. Cover very lightly with vermiculite or very light potting soil or, if surface sowing, mist regularly. Planting: well-fertilized, well-irrigated soil, at the same time as the first lettuces. Tolerates light frosts. Plant every 30-40 cm in all directions. Closer spacing will speed up production of fruiting stems, but they will be smaller.<\/p>\n

Blitum capitatum \/ Chenopodium capitatum, Amaranthaceae<\/strong><\/p>\n Strawberry spinach is a refined green, very popular with restaurateurs who know it, similar to sea spinach or arrowroot.<\/p>\n Picking the leaves is interesting around 4 weeks after planting, but the foliage loses some of its quality when it sets fruit. Fruiting can be spread over 3 to 4 weeks. Wait until a good proportion of the fruit on a stem has turned burgundy before picking; at this stage, the fruit becomes truly delicious. The fruit is so fragrant that you forget it's not actually very sweet. Ideally, present as a branch on salads, with desserts, starters, etc. Beware that the fruit contains a very powerful tincture.<\/p>\n about 300 seeds<\/p>\n Certified organic seeds from 'amie' Wild Garden Seeds, Oregon, USA.<\/p>","protected":false},"featured_media":48247,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[812,205,813,185,178,188,333],"product_tag":[189,191,180],"class_list":["post-48246","product","type-product","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","product_cat-feuilles-diverses","product_cat-fruits-divers","product_cat-legumes","product_cat-legumes-feuilles","product_cat-legumes-fruits","product_cat-salades-diverses","product_cat-semenciers-amis-bio","product_tag-amaranthacees","product_tag-permaculture","product_tag-rouge-pourpre","sales-flash-overlay","woocommerce-text-align-center","woocommerce-image-align-center","do-quantity-buttons","first","instock","taxable","shipping-taxable","purchasable","product-type-simple"],"booking_location":null,"booking_location_type":null,"booking_duration":null,"booking_duration_unit":null,"booking_buffer":null,"booking_cost":null,"booking_resources":null,"yoast_head":"\n
