For some reason that year I just wasn't in the mood to experiment with it. Once I found out that I didn't like it fresh, (strange texture) I meant to try it sauteed, but for some reason, never did. I think that might be the ticket for this green. That or to add color and thickness to soups.
I'm thinking soups will be good, kind of like okra.
I've hear New Zealand spinach is better? I don't know.
