About Green spinach

Green spinach, a versatile leafy green native to Persia, is a nutritional powerhouse commonly used in cuisines worldwide, including Mediterranean, Indian, and American dishes. Packed with vital nutrients, spinach is an excellent source of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as folate, iron, and calcium. It also contains antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, which support eye health, and its high fiber content aids digestion. Low in calories but rich in nutrients, spinach is a great choice for weight management and heart health. While raw spinach offers maximum nutrient density, cooking it can reduce oxalates, which can inhibit calcium and iron absorption for some individuals. Its mild, slightly earthy flavor makes it ideal for salads, smoothies, soups, and sautés. However, individuals prone to kidney stones or on specific medications should moderate consumption due to the natural oxalates and vitamin K content.
