Among the World's Healthiest vegetables, spinach comes out at the top of our ranking list for nutrient richness.

Rich in vitamins and minerals, it is also concentrated in health-promoting phytonutrients such as carotenoids (beta-carotene, lutein, and zeaxanthin) and flavonoids to provide you with powerful antioxidant protection.

Enjoy baby spinach in your favorite salads or make a salad made exclusively of baby spinach. Spinach is one of only three vegetables that we recommend boiling to help reduce its concentration of oxalic acid.

We recommend boiling for just 3 minute to minimize loss of nutrients and flavor.
