Spinach leaves, vibrant and nutrient-rich, are a popular leafy green with origins traced to ancient Persia, later spreading through Mediterranean and Asian cuisines. They’re a powerhouse of vitamins, including A, C, K, and folate, alongside essential minerals like iron, calcium, and magnesium. Spinach is renowned for its antioxidants, such as lutein and zeaxanthin, which support eye health, and its anti-inflammatory properties. It’s low in calories and packed with fiber, making it a favorite choice for weight management and digestive health. Spinach is versatile, often featured in salads, smoothies, soups, and curries. While generally healthy, individuals prone to kidney stones should moderate consumption due to its oxalates, which can contribute to stone formation. Whether enjoyed raw or cooked, spinach leaves are an easy and nutritious addition to a balanced diet.
