Spinach pie is a savory dish commonly associated with Mediterranean and Middle Eastern cuisines, particularly Greek, where it's known as spanakopita. This flavorful pastry typically features a filling of spinach, feta cheese, onions, garlic, and fresh herbs like dill or parsley, all tucked inside layers of crispy phyllo dough. Spinach pie is rich in nutrients, offering dietary fiber and vitamins such as A, C, and K from the spinach, and protein and calcium from the feta cheese. The herbs add antioxidants, contributing to its overall health benefits. However, phyllo dough is often brushed with butter or oil, making the dish higher in fat and calories. While it can be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet, moderation is key to managing its indulgent aspects. Spinach pie makes for a delicious appetizer, snack, or light meal that highlights the vibrant flavors and healthful ingredients of its culinary heritage.
