• food for thought
• Spinach is an excellent source of iron, calcium, chlorophyll, beta-carotene, vitamin C, riboflavin, sodium, and potassium. But keep in mind that fresh spinach loses much of its nutritional value if it's stored more than a few days. Refrigeration slows the effect somewhat, but it is best to use fresh spinach within a couple of days of buying it. Freezing spinach prevents the loss of most of its nutritional value, so frozen spinach is a great choice, too.
