Secret of spinach for our health.
Spinach is an annual plant that belongs to the Amaranthaceae family.
Its leaves are dark green, generally smooth and have a soft texture.
Can be grown in both hot and cold climates
It is known for its mild flavor and is very versatile in cooking, and can be consumed raw or cooked, in salads, soups, stir-fries and natural juices, making it an easy, cheap and low-calorie option to enrich the diet.
The ideal is to consume spinach with main meals, as the absorption of its antioxidants increases with the fat in the meal, normally found in meat and oils used in food preparation.
The scientific name of spinach is Spinacia oleracea and it is an excellent source of essential nutrients such as vitamins, minerals and antioxidants. Some of its medicinal properties include:
Rich in Iron: Spinach is known for its iron content, which is vital for the production of hemoglobin and prevention of anemia.
Vitamins and Minerals: It is a good source of vitamins A, C, K, folic acid, potassium and magnesium.
Antioxidants: Contains antioxidants, such as lutein and zeaxanthin, which help protect the eyes against damage caused by free radicals.
Fiber: The fiber present in spinach helps with digestive health.
