Epinards, or spinach in French, is a nutrient-dense leafy green celebrated for its versatility in global cuisine, particularly European, Mediterranean, and Asian dishes. Originating from ancient Persia, spinach is rich in essential vitamins such as A, C, and K, as well as minerals like iron, magnesium, and potassium. It is packed with antioxidants, including lutein and zeaxanthin, which promote eye health and protect cells from oxidative stress. Spinach is also an excellent source of dietary fiber, supporting digestion and heart health. Low in calories and high in water content, it makes a wonderful addition to weight management diets. However, those prone to kidney stones or with conditions sensitive to oxalates may need to moderate their intake, as spinach contains oxalates, which can interfere with calcium absorption for some individuals. Whether sautéed, blended in smoothies, or raw in salads, spinach is a nutritious staple in any healthy diet.
