I'm curious -- presume you've tasted it? What does it taste like? Pungent, mild, spicy, or? Read a little about it, but saw nothing about taste. Leaves appear to be quite thin in the picture. (?)

I personally like the taste but do not really know how to describe it I eat the spinach with the top stem. Some even eat the seed pods when they are green; I never tried them.


"It is viscuous when cooked. Fresh leaves, when cooked, taste something like parsley, with a mild bitter edge to them. Dried leaves can be used as thickeners in soups."

It is very viscous, and this is why wife does not like them.

I've grown and eaten this before. I bought the seeds that were called Molokhia. It tastes like chinese water morning glory with a little more gooey-ness (like okra). Chinese water morning glory is very tasty and to me tastes like spinach but without the strong spinach taste. It will take on the flavor of whatever seasoning you add to it. I hope whoever got the seeds is enjoying it. I remember it did not grow well for me but I always pick it up at the supermarket. Molokhia and chinese morning glory are delicious and super easy and quick to cook!

I don't need any. Thank you though. I've try growing both in containers and it was too hard to keep up with water needs.
