Good morning! I'd like to find out the benefits of using Caucasian Mountain and other types of perennial spinach in our gardens day in and day out. I for one would grow some for not just a permanent and daily food source in my gardens, but to create a vine hut or teepee out of it for shade or a resting place for all. Anybody used perennial vining spinach before? I've heard in Sweden, that Caucasian spinach has been a versatile food source for all. Could you all please show me some examples of using the spinach on a daily basis? Please shoot me back either on this board or at the Purple Moosage if you need me to explain in great depth about the use of the unique perennial spinach. Bye bye!

for the benefits of using Caucasian Mountain spinach the first thing that comes to mid is that it is a perennial vegetable.  Plant once and you are done.

Though this plant also has health benefits:

It is a good source of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as minerals like iron, calcium, and magnesium.

This plant is good for vision, provides antioxidants, and helps with digestion and blood pressure control.
