Spinach is a nutrient-packed leafy green vegetable originating from ancient Persia, now a staple in cuisines worldwide. It’s rich in vitamins A, C, and K, as well as folate, iron, and calcium. Spinach’s mild, slightly earthy flavor makes it versatile in dishes ranging from salads and smoothies to soups and stir-fries. Its high antioxidant content supports immune health, while its fiber aids digestion. Spinach is also low in calories, making it perfect for weight-conscious diets. However, it contains oxalates, which may interfere with calcium and iron absorption, particularly for individuals prone to kidney stones. Cooking spinach can reduce these oxalates while preserving much of its nutrient value. Whether enjoyed raw or cooked, spinach is a delicious and wholesome addition to any meal.
