Spinach is one of the most nutritious vegetables. It is
rich in beta carotene plus other anticancer compounds such
as folic acid. Spinach is also high in Fiber, Protein, Vitamins
A and C. When picking good spinach, look for crisp, tender
and dark-green leaves. Because it grows close to the ground,
it is important to wash your spinach thoroughly. Plunge
the entire spinach in cold water, shake out and dry well.
You should also trim all tough stems and ribs and remove
any discolored or wilted leaves.
