Spinach is a great source of iron, calcium and other minerals, and it contains an abundance of essential vitamins. It’s a low-fat, high-fiber vegetable that couldn’t be easier to grow, harvest and prepare in the kitchen.
Spinach is delicious raw as a salad green or juiced with apples and carrots. Cooked, it is delicious on its own, or with nearly any seasoning. It adds nutrients, vibrant color and a mild flavor to soups, casseroles, stir-fries and omelettes. Spinach-artichoke dip is always the first thing to be devoured at parties. Supermarkets carry spinach fresh, in cans and frozen, but nothing beats cutting leaves fresh out of your own garden!
