Red Ceylon Spinach

I read about this vege some time back. There are 2 varieties, the red stem and the green one. It goes by many names... Climbing/Ceylon/Malabar/Vine/etc Spinach. The red is supposed to be better.
On a recent trip to Sri Lanka aka Ceylon, you would think it would be easy to find something called Ceylon Spinach. But sorry, no such plant available in the nurseries/shops we checked! Finally found the seeds locally here.

The packet didn't have any info, and I haven't seen the brand anywhere else, so just have to keep fingers crossed that the seeds will germinate.

More info here plus it's detailed nutritional values.

Nice feeling to see shoots of a different colour :)

I placed them next to our front fence so that will be their trellis.

Growing well despite the dog jumping on it. Have to add some barriers...

First harvest of the biggest leaves...

Ceylon/Malabar Spinach on the left, Kale on the right.

And the underside...

Taste... the larger leaves raw were slightly bitter, but the smaller ones were nice. I stir fried them for about 15 seconds with some garlic in my homemade bacon fat. Yummy!
