Malabar is mucilaginous, like okra, when I grew it. If I remember right it also has an 'earthy' taste like beets and chard that I do not find appealing.
As a cooked vegetable, young sweet potato leaves or kang kong (Chinese water spinach) are most similar to spinach. They are great stir fried.
But these are all warmer weather crops on the mainland that will grow year around in Puna.
