Get three live gynura plant plugs, ready to plant in pots for a bright windowsill, desk, or plant shelf. These live plant seedlings bring leafy color indoors. Place them in bright, indirect light and keep the soil lightly moist, not soggy, as they settle in.

For a garden starter, pair them with culinary herbs, organic herb starts, or hydroponic herbs as they grow into transplants.

How to Eat It

* Raw: Young, tender leaves can be eaten fresh in salads, green smoothies, or added to sandwiches.
* Cooked: The leaves and stems can be steamed, boiled, sautéed, stir-fried, or tossed into soups. Cooking gives them a mild, nutty flavor and a slightly mucilaginous (viscous) texture similar to okra or Malabar spinach.
