Plant Appearance
Bloomsdale Spinach is visually striking with its dark green, savoyed leaves. The term "savoyed" refers to the crinkled or wrinkled texture of the leaves, which gives them a distinctive appearance. These deeply crinkled leaves are not only attractive but also serve a practical purpose by providing a larger surface area for photosynthesis, which results in more vigorous growth.
The leaves of Bloomsdale Spinach are typically medium to large in size, making them perfect for both fresh salads and cooked dishes. The vibrant green color of the leaves adds a refreshing touch to any meal.
Taste and Texture
One of the most appealing aspects of Bloomsdale Spinach is its delectable taste and tender texture. The leaves have a mild, earthy flavor with a subtle hint of sweetness, making them palatable to a wide range of taste preferences. Whether you prefer your spinach raw or cooked, Bloomsdale Spinach offers a pleasant and versatile taste.
The tender leaves of Bloomsdale Spinach are not only enjoyable to eat but also easy to incorporate into various recipes. When harvested at the right time, the leaves are tender and crisp, making them ideal for salads. They can also be lightly sautéed, steamed, or added to soups and stews without losing their delightful flavor and texture.
Unique Characteristics
Bloomsdale Spinach possesses several unique characteristics that distinguish it from other spinach varieties:
Cold Tolerance: Bloomsdale Spinach is well-suited for cooler climates and can tolerate cold temperatures, which means it can be grown in early spring and late fall when many other crops struggle.
Slow Bolting: Bolting refers to the premature flowering of spinach, which can lead to bitterness and a decline in leaf quality. Bloomsdale Spinach is known for its slow bolting tendency, allowing for a longer harvest window.
Excellent Nutritional Value: Like other spinach varieties, Bloomsdale Spinach is rich in essential nutrients such as vitamins A, C, and K, as well as iron and folate. It is a nutritious addition to any diet, contributing to overall health and well-being.
Versatility: Bloomsdale Spinach is versatile in the kitchen and can be used in a wide range of culinary applications. Whether you're making a fresh salad, adding greens to a smoothie, or preparing a hearty cooked dish, this spinach variety delivers both flavor and nutrition.

Let customers speak for us
Working great
I bought these seeds to go in bundles of packets of vegetable seeds that I will put in the Blessing Box at a church here in town about late January so people who need to can supplement the groceries they buy with a garden. I'm sure they will love them. If my budget stretches that far, I will get some for myself and let you know how I like them. I still have eight bundles worth of packets of seeds to purchase for them first, though.

I grow flats of this for my pet pigs, because of the high nutritional content. They love it. I find them waiting at the growing location every afternoon waiting for their fave. I've grown beautiful flats of pea sprouts and alfalfa for them too, but they turn up their snouts and walk away.
