Watania Farms — Kenya
Spinach is a cool-season crop that thrives in temperatures of 10-20C. In our hydroponic systems at Malindi, we control all environmental parameters to produce spinach year-round. Leaves are harvested at 25-35 days from seeding, ensuring optimum tenderness and nutritional content. Our staggered planting cycles guarantee continuous supply to meet export volume commitments.
Spinach is incredibly versatile - enjoyed raw in salads, wilted into pasta, blended into smoothies, or cooked in a wide range of cuisines.
Use baby spinach leaves as a salad base paired with berries, nuts, and balsamic dressing.
Blend with banana, apple, and ginger for a nutrient-packed breakfast smoothie.
Wilt quickly in olive oil with garlic and a pinch of nutmeg as a side for grilled meats or fish.
Stir through pasta with ricotta and lemon, or use as a filling for quiche and savoury pies.
