New Zealand Spinach
Owing to lack of space no editorial comment was made on Mrs. Gane’s letter about New Zealand spinach in Switzerland, in the Along the Track Notes in our last issue. A scientist to whom the letter was referred informs us that New Zealand spinach, kokihi, Tetragonia expansa, is a much prized summer
vegetable in Europe. At Covent Garden market in London, New Zealand spinach is often to be seen in the summer when other spinach is scarce. Although New Zealand has given this to the world, it is not grown as often as it should be in its own country.
