Orach

Latin Name: Atriplex hortensis

Spanish: armuelle

This amaranth-like green is just as rich and succulent as its spinach cousin, known for its uniquely soft leaf texture that captures the morning dew in a way that makes it glimmer just right in the light. There are many different varieties that range from greens to bright pinks to deep purples, adding incredible nutrition and gorgeous color to any dish. See a few varieties below from local seed companies.
