About Spinach sauce

Spinach sauce is a versatile condiment or topping traditionally used in various cuisines, particularly Mediterranean and European dishes. Typically made with fresh spinach, garlic, olive oil, and a hint of cream or yogurt for a smoother texture, it often includes seasonings like nutmeg, pepper, and lemon juice to enhance flavor. Packed with nutrients, spinach sauce is a rich source of vitamins A, C, and K, as well as folate and iron, supporting bone health, immunity, and energy production. The inclusion of olive oil contributes heart-healthy fats, while lighter preparation methods keep it calorie-conscious. However, heavier variations with added cheese or cream can increase saturated fat and calorie content. This sauce pairs well with pasta, grilled proteins, or as a nutritious dip, making it a flavorful way to incorporate leafy greens into meals.
