Spinach

Spinach is a leafy green used worldwide in salads, sautés, smoothies and cooked dishes; it appears in Mediterranean, South Asian and many other cuisines and is known for its tender leaves and mild, slightly earthy flavor. Nutritionally, Spinach is very low in calories and provides a good amount of fiber with 1.6g per 100g, along with a modest amount of plant protein; it is also a concentrated source of fat‑soluble vitamins and B‑vitamins such as vitamin A, vitamin K and folate. Because it is nutrient-dense and low in energy, Spinach is often recommended for adding vitamins, minerals and fiber to meals without many calories; it also contributes useful plant-based protein and antioxidants that support general health.
