Billed as a warm-season alternative to spinach, orach is actually a cool-season plant that doesn't go to seed as quickly as spinach. Also popular as a microgreen, it has a deep red/purple upper leaf with the shimmery underside characteristic of all orach (or triple in Italian).

NUTRITIONAL ELEMENTS

Red orache microgreens contain high concentrations of vitamin K, which helps strengthen bones and prevent osteoporosis. They are also an excellent addition to any diet because they are high in protein, low in calories and rich in vitamins.

Red orache MICROGREENS : THE USES IN THE KITCHEN 

Red orache microgreens can be eaten both raw and cooked. They are excellent added to salads. Alternatively they can be cooked by sautéing them in a pan with oil and onion, then using them as a side dish to a fish dish or in addition to potatoes.
