Spinach
Spinach is known for its high nutrients and is part of the Amaranth family, like beets.
"Spinach is a fantastic vegetable to grow indoors due to its compact size and quick growth cycle," says Jill Ragan.
This leafy green is hardy and low-maintenance. "It can tolerate lower light levels and still produce a bountiful harvest," she says.
You'll want to place your spinach plants someplace bright that receives indirect light, like an east or west-facing window, says Ragan. Or, you can use grow light to supplement a lack of natural light.
Time to maturity: 25 to 30 days
Care requirements: Full sun; moist, well-draining soil
