About Silver spinach leaves (Celosia trigyna)
Silver spinach leaves are the leaves of Celosia trigyna, as identified by the parenthetical botanical name. The common name does not mean that the ingredient is necessarily spinach in the botanical sense; the catalogue identifies a specific leafy plant. The record does not state whether the leaves are fresh or processed.
The leaves may be used as a leafy vegetable, with handling and preparation depending on the food product or culinary context. Their appearance and texture vary with leaf maturity and processing. No particular cooking method, flavour, or recipe is specified, so this entry describes the leaves rather than a prepared dish.
