Certified Organic Spinach Powder
Spinach is a leafy green vegetable that originally came from southwestern
Asia and is now grown in most parts of the world. Its leaves, which are broad
and smooth and about ten inches long, make one of the most popular, though
maligned by children everywhere, of cooked leafy vegetables. Spinach is also
used raw in salads.
Though Spinach is most often used as a food, it has medicinal value as well.
It is well known that Spinach is packed with vitamins and minerals. Spinach is
most often associated with iron content, but in reality it has about the same
amount of iron as most leafy green vegetables. What sets Spinach apart is its
abundance of Calcium. It is also a great source of Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin
K, and folic acid. Spinach is also a good source of Chlorophyll, which is known
to aid in digestion. Spinach is also rich in the carotenoids Beta-Carotene and
Lutein. It is a good source of the bioflavonoid Quercetin as well, giving
Spinach anti-oxidant properties in addition to its many other benefits.
Much research has been done on the amazing properties of Spinach. It shows
great promise as a cancer reducer, having been shown to slow the growth of
stomach cancer and skin cancer cells, and it contains several constituents that
have been shown to reduce the likelihood of colon cancer. Spinach is also used
to prevent the bone loss associated with osteoporosis and for its
anti-inflammatory properties in easing the pain of arthritis. Spinach is good
for the heart and circulatory system and has energy-boosting properties. Spinach
has also been shown to improve brain function and may reduce age-related
cognitive problems. Spinach is truly one of nature's most perfect foods.
