It is packed with vitamins, including vitamin K for blood clotting, vitamin A for eye health, and vitamin C for immune support. Spinach is also rich in essential minerals like iron for oxygen transport and potassium for heart health. It provides dietary fibre, promoting digestive health, and is a source of antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, which support eye health. Additionally, spinach contains folate, which is crucial for DNA synthesis. Spinach has a mild, slightly earthy, and leafy flavour. Its taste is often described as “green” and fresh.
