Mayan Spinach (Chaya / Mexican Spinach) Stem Cuttings – Easy to Grow, Highly Nutritious Perennial Green

Grow your own supply of fresh, nutritious leafy greens with our premium Mayan Spinach stem cuttings, also known as Chaya or Mexican Spinach. Chaya (Cnidoscolus aconitifolius) is a fast-growing perennial leafy vegetable native to Central America and is valued for its exceptional nutrition, drought tolerance, and abundant harvests.

Unlike regular spinach, Mayan Spinach thrives in warm climates and continues producing fresh leaves for many years with minimal care. It is an excellent addition to home gardens, kitchen gardens, terrace gardens, and edible landscapes.

Uses of Mayan Spinach

• Cook the leaves as a nutritious leafy vegetable.
• Add cooked leaves to dals, curries, soups, stews, and stir-fries.
• Blend cooked leaves into smoothies after proper cooking and cooling.
• Use as a nutrient-rich substitute for spinach in many recipes.
• Ideal for sustainable home food production due to its continuous leaf harvest.

Important: Chaya leaves should always be cooked before eating. Do not consume raw leaves, as they naturally contain compounds that are reduced to safe levels through proper cooking. Mexican Spinach | Mayan Keerai (Chaya) Stem cuttings For Seed
