Spinach is a leafy green vegetable that grows best in cool weather. Spinach is packed with nutrients such as iron, protein, vitamin A, vitamin C, thiamin, chlorophyll, potassium and folic acid (one of the B complex vitamins). Spinach, like most dark green leafy vegetables, also contains the carotenoids lutein and zeaxanthin. Whether raw in salads or lightly steamed spinach is a suitable accompaniment to a wide range of dishes.
