What is it?

I bought several bunches of interesting-looking greens at a farmer's market over the weekend. The woman wasn't sure what a few of them were and the guy who seemed to know everything was busy at the time. I was in a rush to get somewhere so I didn't stay to find out. I was able to identify most of them but I still don't know what these two are:



Strong and bitter-tasting. Also tastes minty.



Tastes similar to spinach. Not as strong-tasting.

Any ideas??

    Okay, it looks a bit like "mexican spinach" or "chinese spinach"; but since you said it's not spinach...I'll go with turnip greens? OR amaranth??

    ??? Honestly, your guess is as good as mine! I haven't had amaranth, Mexican spinach or Chinese spinach... I'm tempted to go back to the farmer's market this weekend and see if I can find out!
