About New Zealand spinach leaf
A New Zealand spinach leaf is the leafy portion of New Zealand spinach, a succulent-leaved vegetable distinct from common spinach. The leaves are typically fleshy and triangular to oval, with a mild, green flavour. This entry refers to leaves rather than the whole tender shoot, which may also include stems.
Leaves are eaten cooked in much the same ways as other leafy greens, such as steamed, boiled or sautéed, and may be included in soups. They soften with cooking and shrink in volume. They may be used fresh or cooked; dried or otherwise processed leaf products are not interchangeable with fresh leaves.
