Spinach

Spinach (Spinacia oleracea), a dark green vegetable from the Amaranthaceae family, is prized for its tender texture, mild earthy flavor, and versatility. Native to Persia, it comes in flat-leaf, savoy, and semi-savoy varieties.

Rich in vitamins A, C, K, folate, iron, calcium, and antioxidants like lutein, spinach supports eye, bone, and heart health while aiding digestion. Low in calories, it’s ideal for weight management.

Spinach can be enjoyed raw in salads and smoothies or cooked in soups, pasta, and sautés, pairing well with dairy, grains, and proteins. A nutritious staple in global cuisines.
