Like Popeye

Have you had it with kale chips, kale smoothies, kale salads—even kale pesto? Try an old favorite called spinach. Don’t eat it from the can like Popeye the Sailor Man. You can get gorgeous fresh spinach this time of year. It’s extremely hardy, so it grows throughout winter in Sacramento. Slip a few leaves into a sandwich or stir them into grain and vegetable soups as you serve them. You can hardly find a more nutrient-rich food. It’s exceptionally high in vitamins A and K and an excellent source of plant-based iron. It’ll make you strong to the “finich.”
