About Raw spinach

Spinach, a leafy green vegetable native to Persia, is a versatile ingredient widely used in cuisines around the world, from Mediterranean salads to Indian curries. Raw spinach is an excellent source of essential nutrients, including vitamin K, vitamin A, vitamin C, folate, iron, and calcium. It also provides antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, which support eye health. Spinach is low in calories and contains dietary fiber, making it a great choice for weight management and digestion. However, it’s worth noting that raw spinach contains oxalates, which can interfere with calcium absorption and contribute to kidney stone formation in some individuals. To maximize its health benefits, spinach can be combined with vitamin C-rich foods to enhance iron absorption. Enjoy raw spinach in smoothies, salads, or wraps for a nutritious boost in your daily diet.
