Self Sufficient Me is based on our small 3-acre property/homestead in SE Queensland, Australia, about 45kms north of Brisbane – the climate is subtropical (similar to Florida). I started Self Sufficient Me in 2011 as a blog website project where I document and write about backyard food growing, self-sufficiency, and urban farming in general. I love sharing my foodie and DIY adventures online, so come along with me and let’s get into it! Cheers, Mark 🙂

G'day Everyone, red and green spinach are very high in beneficial nutrients, but the red wins, in my opinion. Cheers to Popeye! 🙂
A pot from kahla = apart from Color.
You look like a chill version of Alex Jones
Why are all purple plants called red?
Sadly, I have not planted any spinach this year. I usually do. I usually plant green spinach but I think if I can find seeds, I will grow both.
Interesting. First time I’ve heard about red spinach.
Here in Appalachia we get wild spinach which is similar in shape to the red spinach but it’s very mild.
They call it lambsquaters
Try sweet potato leaves. They’re better than both!
Well Mark I have never seen red spinach but it is beautiful. Thanks for the taste test.
I did not know that, thanks!
Spinach soup is my favorite
Both anti nutrients
Don’t no but I’m old fashion I eat green carnt come at buying differant colours
Staple vegetable dish to have with red boiled rice in south west coast of India. Add grated coconut for taste while cooking. The stem is also nutritious. Thanks for the great content!
I find that red spinach are somewhat saltier. Have you had the same experience?
I never knew there was such a thing as red spinach.
Learn something everyday.
Do you find one to be more heat tolerate than the other?
Thank you
Well, I've learned a couple things today. Spinach is part of the amaranth family! I did not know that! Always grateful to anyone who teaches me something! Thank you Mark!
Grow both!!
Okay… there is red spinach? I am sad now.
I grew up in Germany and my grandma had her own vegetable garden and we had all sorts of stuff including purple Kohlräbchen. Soo yummy.
Nowadays we all buy our veggies at the supermarket and they only sell those kinds that keep longer and look good. I read a BBC article saying how modern fruit and veg has a lot less vitamins as we selectively bred them for their other features.
It makes me so sad that we cannot experience yummy veggies if we do not have our own garden. Sadly, I cannot grow anything here but that would be my dream: my own garden.
Lol 'inverted commas'
Cool didn't know spinach was in amaranth family.
Red spinach definitely better for smoothies, add nice color and nutrition to it

My Korean MiL makes spinach soup often and recently she used red spinach instead and it was SO much more flavourful than usual. I was stunned!
