Nutrition Tip

Spinach is a native plant of Persia (Iran) but it was Popeye who made this nutrient-dense vegetable popular in the U.S. in the 1930s. Spinach is often coined a superfood because it is loaded with nutrients and antioxidants, such as iron, B vitamins, dietary fiber, calcium, magnesium, as well as vitamins A, C, K, and E. Spinach is very versatile and can be eaten cooked or raw. Even though it is great in salads all on its own, try adding spinach to pasta, soups, smoothies, and dips.
