Originating from Japanese selections, Akarenso spinach is distinguished by its dark green leaves borne on bright red petioles, creating an elegant contrast in the vegetable garden. Perfectly suited to cooler seasons, it embodies the remarkable consistency of a reliable plant, a companion to the first days of spring and the gentle warmth of autumn. In a well-balanced garden, it establishes itself easily, appreciating well-drained soil, regular watering, and soft light.

This cultivar is also remarkably well-suited to cultivation in flexible containers, particularly geotextile fabric, where its compact habit and rapid growth allow for abundant harvests even in limited spaces. It is also well-suited to indoor cultivation, on balconies or sunny windowsills, thus extending the season of fresh leaves into the colder months.

Growing climate: Cool season
Sowing difficulty level: Easy
Care required: Regular
Growth: Rapid growth

Note: Prefers cool temperatures; early heat causes bolting.

Tender and not very fibrous, Akarenso leaves are perfect for salads, quick stir-fries or simmered dishes where they melt while retaining their mild and slightly mineral taste.
This Japanese variety is traditionally used in clear soups, steamed dishes or served with a touch of soy sauce and sesame.
It offers a subtle alternative to Western spinach, with a more balanced flavor and a supple texture ideal for everyday cooking full of finesse.
