Benefits of Spinach
Spinach is an excellent source of nutrients and antioxidants in a low-calorie package. Dark, leafy greens like spinach are loaded with vitamin K, vitamin A, vitamin C and folate.
It is also a good source of manganese, magnesium, iron and vitamin B2. These nutrients are important for the health of our skin, hair, eyes and bones.
There are a lot of ways to cook spinach. It is delicious on its own or in other dishes. We can stir-fry it, add it into soups, bake with cheese and lots more. Spinach is undoubtedly one of the most nutritious and versatile vegetables.
My boys love snacks so I am going to share a tasty crispy snack made of spinach (obviously).
