Well, if Popeye ate it, there must be something to it. Lately we’ve heard much about greens dark in color (and all veggies and fruits of intense color) as being good for us. I’ve noticed bags of the stuff at the grocery store, all washed and prepped and ready to eat. I think that’s great, because anyone who’s tried to wash a bunch of Spinach or lettuce will often be greeted with a sink full of mud. Ok, so it’s good for you, but how does it taste?
I’d wager that most kids would not list Spinach on their top ten of favorite things to eat. But, as adults, we are constantly trying to add more healthful things to our diets, and thankfully, Spinach is easy to tuck , hide, fold and saute into dishes, sandwiches and salads so you and yours won’t even know it’s there! I personally like the taste of Spinach, both raw and cooked, but then again I am a weirdo 
.
According to those in the know, Spinach is high in Vitamins A, C and K. It contains Iron, Folic Acid and Lutein-which is an antioxidant and plays a role in a healthy immune system.
Try this quick, no crust quiche recipe. Take half a bag of baby spinach, 1 cup of cottage cheese, some minced onion and 6 eggs. Mix all of these ingredients and add some parmesan cheese. Salt and pepper to taste, transfer to a pie pan or casserole dish. Bake at 350 for about 30 minutes, sprinkle with paprika. Allow to cool and enjoy! Deb Weisman
