About Spinach raw

Spinach, a leafy green vegetable native to Persia, is a nutritional powerhouse widely used in global cuisines, from Mediterranean dishes to Asian stir-fries. Packed with vitamins A, C, and K, as well as folate, iron, and calcium, raw spinach provides essential nutrients that support bone health, skin vitality, and immune function. Its high antioxidant content, including lutein and beta-carotene, promotes eye health and combats oxidative stress. With a low calorie count and high fiber, spinach aids in digestion and weight management, making it a staple for healthy diets. However, spinach contains oxalates, which can interfere with calcium absorption and may contribute to kidney stone formation in sensitive individuals. Versatile and nutrient-rich, raw spinach is an excellent addition to salads, smoothies, and sandwiches, offering a fresh, earthy taste while contributing to overall wellness.
