second i told you spinach is not molokhyia and you should not called it as such because it is different.
i told why. go to their scientic names and check again. i have given you their names search again.

do not say substitutes they are different. yes they are all green but eating molokhiya is not eating spiankh. lol

thanks

Oddly the doc at first diagnosis wanted to immediately put me on statins for high cholesterol without testing. I told him its unlikely as I was vegetarian most of my life. So he waited, and sure enough no need for statins. So yea I am not typical of T2 diabetics. I am pretty convinced I got it from a too grain heavy diet. Too much grain, not enough veggies. Most of symptoms like problems with kidneys, eyes, and feet, are from not keeping your blood sugar under control. I keep my blood sugar under control. Funny how that works, huh?


As to using common names for plants, I am sorry this offends you, but most people get the idea what you are talking about. If you need to use latin names for things, hey more power to you, nobody but botanists will know what you are talking about but its your fantasy that they do. From way it looks few know what it is even using common names. Not commonly grown in USA. Popular in mideast, Africa, and Japan. And I learned from a "food in Japan" article that it stops growing at 70F and lower temp. Yea even if it just drops to 70F over night. Not a problem in summer where I am, but guessing it wouldnt like spring and fall. True spinach here is spring and fall only. Bolts with the heat.
