About Palak (Spinach)

Palak (Spinacia oleracea) is a cool-season leafy green widely used in Indian cooking for gravies, dal, and everyday vegetable dishes. The smooth, mild leaves cook down quickly, blending easily with spices and lentils in dishes like palak paneer and dal palak. When harvested young, the leaves are especially tender and well suited to both cooked preparations and fresh use.

This America-type spinach is selected for steady leaf production and reliable growth in cooler weather, providing consistent harvests through fall, winter, and early spring in mild climates.

Why We Grow It

We grow palak because it’s one of the most essential cool-season greens for everyday cooking. Reliable in California’s milder months, it produces steady harvests of tender leaves that cook down beautifully into graviews and dal.
