Spinach filling is a versatile and nutrient-rich mixture commonly used in Mediterranean, Middle Eastern, and European cuisines. Typically made by combining fresh or sautéed spinach with ingredients like onions, garlic, olive oil, herbs, and occasionally cheese or eggs, this filling is packed with both flavor and health benefits. Spinach itself is a low-calorie green, rich in vitamins A, C, K, folate, and iron, as well as antioxidants which support overall health. Olive oil and garlic add heart-healthy fats and antibacterial properties, while cheese, often included in recipes like spanakopita, contributes protein and calcium but can increase sodium and fat content. Its vibrant and earthy taste makes it a popular choice for pastries, stuffed vegetables, or layer cakes. While spinach filling is generally healthy, adjustments like reducing cheese or salt can make it even more balanced for various dietary needs.
