Facts: Spinach is thought to have originated in ancient Persia. It has a high nutritional value and is extremely rich in antioxidants, especially when fresh, steamed, or quickly boiled. Popeye the Sailor Man loves the suff and becomes physically stronger after eating it. Stories claim that this portrayal was based on faulty calculations of its iron content. It seems that German scientist E. von Wolf misplaced a decimal point in an 1870 measurement of spinach’s iron content, leading to an iron value 10 times higher than it should have been. This incorrect measurement was not noticed until the 1930s – oops!

Storage: Keep in a bag in the salad compartment of your fridge.
Preparation & Cooking: Wash before use. Note that spinach contains a lot of water, so what looks like a lot of leaves will cook down to very little. Spinach can be boiled or steamed, but can also be cooked in a little olive oil with some toasted pine nuts – yummy!
