Hi...Cynthia here (inserting 2cents),
I grew the Bright Lights, it tasted ok, but IMHO is bland in comparison to
spinach. But, if you put enough butter/salt/pepper on, it is delicious. I
cooked some up like my grandma does, parboiled, then sautee in olive oil
with onion and garlic, that wasn't bad at all. I do not plan to grow
Bright Lights again. But then again, I don't grow spinach either <bg>.
