Nutrition:
A half cup of spinach contains significant amounts of potassium, iron, folate, vitamin K and vitamin A. To increase your body's absorption of the iron in spinach, combine it with vitamin-C rich foods like tomato, orange, or lemon.

Preparation:
Trim off longer stems. Use young spinach fresh for salads. Steam or stir-fry more mature leaves. Note that spinach. like many other greens, shrinks substantially when cooked, so plan accordingly.
