10 Health Benefits of Spinach

Spinach is one of my most favorite greens to cook with. Especially because you can use it in many different ways. When making salads, using spinach instead of regular lettuce is preferred as the nutrients are far higher. This is easy to see because of how much darker green spinach is. 

Spinach is also easily grown in any backyard garden. Just one row of seeds will grow all season long and thrives in cooler weather. Gardening is also very healing in of itself!

Learning all the benefits of spinach will help you realize just how important it is to eat it regularly, as well as give you some motivation to eat some healthy foods!
