Spinach

Spinach

EverydayFresh

Spinach is a tender leafy green vegetable renowned for its exceptional nutrient density, providing significant amounts of iron, vitamins A/C/K, folate, and magnesium with minimal calories. The fresh leaves have a mild, slightly earthy flavor and delicate texture, making them versatile for raw salads, steamed side dishes, or sautéed applications. While highly nutritious, spinach contains oxalic acid which can inhibit mineral absorption, though cooking reduces this compound.
