Wilted spinach is a simple yet nutritious dish commonly enjoyed across various cuisines, particularly in Mediterranean, Asian, and American cooking. Made by briefly cooking fresh spinach leaves until softened and vibrant, this preparation retains much of the vegetable’s natural nutrients. Spinach is rich in vitamins A, C, and K, iron, folate, and antioxidants, making it excellent for supporting bone health, immune function, and heart health. The wilting process reduces its volume significantly, allowing for larger servings packed with goodness. However, cooking can slightly decrease some vitamin content, like vitamin C, compared to raw spinach. Often served with garlic, olive oil, or a dash of lemon juice, wilted spinach is versatile and pairs well with proteins and grains. While naturally low in calories and fat, caution is advised if paired with butter or high-sodium seasonings, which may counteract its health benefits. A quick and nourishing addition to any meal!
