Spinach

CATEGORY: spinach

Spinach!  My most favorite of the greens.  I think spinach and beets are two of the most common childhood veggies that later in life become favorites.  Spinach is very versatile and packed with nutrients.  It can be cooked (and in a variety of ways) and it is lovely raw, in salads OH and in soups!  Remember that if you cook it, the less you cook it the more nutrients will be preserved.

Nutritional Content:  Spinach has some serious nutritional benefits.  It′s extremely rich in antioxidants, has a rich source of vitamin A, high in lutein, vitamin C, E, K, magnesium, manganese, folate, betaine, iron, vitamin B2, calcium, potassium, vitamin B6, folic acid, copper, protein, phosphorus, zinc, niacin, selenium and omega-3 fatty acids.
