I placed the Egyptian spinach seeds into each cell at a depth that was about only twice their height. Since Egyptian spinach seeds are tiny, I put them on top of each cell and lightly dusted dirt over them. I lightly watered them each day.

OTHER BENEFITS OF GROWING EGYPTIAN SPINACH / SALUYOT:
Egyptian spinach / saluyot can not be easily bought outside of places like the Philipines and Egypt. This may be in part due to how quickly Egyptian spinach / saluyot leaves wilt and lack of knowledge (and possibly interest) by the West.


MY QUESTION
More recently, I read that Egyptian spinach / saluyot's health benefits also include an ability to resolve liver disorders. I look forward to getting more information about this.
