Specifications of Desi Malabar Spinach (Bachhali Kura) Seeds
This Desi Malabar Spinach variety is a vigorous, heat-loving climbing vine producing thick, slightly mucilaginous leaves widely used in Indian cooking, particularly in curries and dals. Unlike regular spinach, it thrives in hot, humid weather rather than cool seasons, making it a reliable leafy green option during summer and monsoon when other greens struggle.
Benefits / Uses
Thick, nutrient-rich leaves ideal for curries and dals
Thrives in hot, humid weather — a reliable summer leafy green
Vigorous climbing vine — good for covering trellises and fences
Continuous harvest over an extended period once established
Low-maintenance once the vine is established
Planting and Care for Malabar Spinach
Sowing: Sow seeds ½ inch deep in well-drained, fertile soil. Soaking seeds overnight before sowing can improve germination.
Growing: Provide a trellis or vertical support early, as the vine grows quickly and needs guidance. Water regularly, keeping soil moist but not waterlogged.
Harvesting: Begin harvesting leaves and young shoots 40-50 days after sowing, picking tender growth regularly — this encourages continued vine growth and a longer harvest period.
Precautions While Growing Malabar Spinach
Provide support early, as the vine grows vigorously and can become heavy
Avoid waterlogging, which can lead to root rot
Watch for aphids and leaf-eating pests; use organic pest control methods where needed
Harvest regularly to encourage continued tender leaf growth
