According to Eustace, I should be eating more spinach. In truth, I think we all should!
Lately I’ve been craving it something fierce. I suppose that I probably look and feel a great deal like Olive Oil did, from that old Saturday morning cartoon!
Out of curiosity over my severe cravings, Eustace and I got to reading some things about natural foods.
Check this out! I clipped this off a nutrition calculator:

I love it steamed, but I used to eat it raw with feta cheese, Roma tomatoes, candied pecans, and dehydrated cranberries with a Raspberry vinaigrette dressing… yummmm!

It’s pretty easy to grow in the garden. It just doesn’t like lots of heat. So it’s an early and late season crop.
