Malabar Spinach in Taiwan is commonly known as "Imperial Palace Vegetable", also known as "Luo Kui". Because it is resistant to diseases and insect pests, it uses less pesticides and is rich in nutrients. In recent years, Taiwan's catering industry has also called it "Healthy Vegetable". Due to its many benefits, Malabar Spinach has become the protagonist of the organic nutritious lunch for school children in Yilan County in Taiwan.

Malabar Spinach are commonly known as imperial dishes, fungus dishes and so on. It is an annual or perennial vine, native to tropical Asia. Taiwan can produce almost all year round, with abundant production in summer and autumn. The content of beta carotene, vitamin C and folic acid is high, and the food value is extremely high.

Malabar Spinach is heat-resistant, drought-tolerant, fast-growing, and has very good resistance to pests and diseases. It does not require medication during cultivation, so it is very suitable for organic cultivation. It is also healthy for open-air cultivation, which is both organic and cost-effective.

The edible parts of the Malabar Spinach are young shoots and leaves, and a few farmers directly pick the leaves and sell them. Because it is rich in nutrients such as beta-carotene, vitamin C, folic acid and calcium, it has been recognized as one of the important sources of nutritional supplements by international research institutions such as the "Asian Vegetable World Vegetable Center". A variety of nutrients can be supplemented, which is very helpful for growth and development.

Harvest season: Malabar Spinach is generally planted in April and harvested from June to August.
