Spinach gave Pop-Eye his strength, which is no surprise considering it how rich it is in vitamins A, B2, C and K, as well as magnesium, manganese, folate, iron, calcium and potassium. Spinach contains oxalic acid, which can cause your body to absorb less nutrients. For this reason, it is often recommended that spinach is lightly steamed or sauteed.  Spinach loves cheese and eggs, so it is great in frittatas, quiches and souffles. You could also try it in spanakopita, blend it into a smoothie or use it in a salad paired with pear, walnuts and blue cheese or roast sweet potato.
