Calorie for calorie, leafy green pack more nutritional punch
than any other food and spinach is one of the all-star. A cup of cooked spinach
is load with vitamins, easily giving you a full day’s supply of vitamin K and
A, and least about third of your day’s folate, iron, magnesium, and vitamin C.
It contains almost as much protein as an egg, and almost as much calcium and as
a glass of milk (though only about a third as much is absorbed). Among its many
health properties, it can help prevent cancer and improve cognitive function in
the brain.
And it can be a delicious flavor to teach your child.
Spinach salads are simple side dishes to complement many meal, or they can be a
great meal themselves especially during the spring and fall crops. I also like
sauteing spinach with a bit of olive and
garlic, sometimes with lemon juice for a fresh taste, sometimes with some
mushrooms for an earthier dish. A bit of Parmesan cheese might be nice either
way. Or pine nuts. And, to me, spinach can also be a nice addition to almost
any pasta. You’ll also find spinach in the garden and market.
Spinach …
I remember Popeye. This my cartoon favorites.
