Orach is an old kitchen garden vegetable grown by American settlers, deserves more attention. It has a mild flavor that does not get bitter when the plant bolts. Orach is used in salads, cooked like spinach, or used to stuff leaves. Italians used it in pasta and the French and English used it as a side dish and in stews and soups. The Orach is also known as Mountain Spinach or French Spinach.
Plant in early spring, 4 to 6 weeks before the last frost date. Successive plantings can be made every 3 weeks for continuous fresh greens. Orach prefers light, textured, fertile, moist, and well drained soil. The leaves taste better when the soil is kept evenly moist. The best and most tender leaves are the ones from the top of the plant and/or from young plants.
