About Garden orache
Garden orache, also called garden orach, is a leafy vegetable grown for its tender leaves. The leaves are typically broad and somewhat triangular, and may be green, red or other colours depending on the variety. Their texture is tender when young, and the flavour is mild, often described as earthy or lightly salty.
The leaves can be eaten raw when young or cooked like other leafy greens, where they soften and reduce in volume. Fresh leaves are the usual form; older leaves may be tougher. Garden orache should not be confused with similarly named wild orache species.
