About Esparregado
Esparregado is a traditional Portuguese side dish made primarily from finely chopped greens like spinach, Swiss chard, or turnip leaves, combined with olive oil, garlic, flour, and vinegar or lemon juice for a tangy flavor. This creamy, comforting dish is a staple in Portuguese cuisine, often served alongside grilled or roasted meats and fish. Esparregado is rich in essential nutrients, as the leafy greens provide vitamins A, C, and K, as well as iron and antioxidants. The use of olive oil adds heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, and garlic contributes anti-inflammatory and immune-boosting properties. While Esparregado offers several health benefits, its nutritional profile can vary depending on the amount of oil, flour, or seasonings used, which may increase calorie or sodium content. Nevertheless, it remains a wholesome choice when balanced as part of a meal.
