A supermarket perennial, fresh spinach adds a tasty spark of nutrition to menus year-round.

In these health-conscious times, spinach is often considered more of a fitness prescription than a food. High in vitamin C and iron, it was touted for its nutrients even before Popeye sang its praises. Cooks the world over favor it for its earthy, slightly acidic flavor and for its ease of preparation. Greek spinach pie, French gratins, Persian stews, Florentine dishes, and Chinese stir-fries all attest to its appeal.
