My understanding of Malabar Spinach is you have to harvest it very young or it doesn't taste very good. They say you want to keep picking the seeds off of the vines as they are growing as well or it will take off like mint does. They say if you cut it when the vine is about 2' tall or so and use them in salad or cooking that the taste is milder. They also say that cooking the spinach takes the mucuous like texture out of it. They(the persons I got the seed from) said they eat it very young and in salads.
