Doesn’t it have a list? That should help narrow it down a bit

If it isn’t spinach I’d still treat it as - either eat fresh in salads, in soups or casseroles, or wilt down with butter and garlic.

The message in the box says it's calabrese but I googled that and it doesn't look like it
I hope it is spinach but really not convinced

Looks like a young ruby chard.

Calabrese is broccoli, it's not calabrese. That stem looks more like chard than spinach but you use them in similar ways anyway.

It’ll be perfect in a curry.

Chard. Spinach wouldn't have the pink root.

It's spinach. Spinach does have pink roots. It looks lovely and fresh

I thought spinach. Yum. Wilt it down with some onion and tomatoes and then fry an egg in it with a bit of salt and paprika on top. Yum

Does it have a lemony citrus taste? It could be sorrel.
