Spinach has always been one of my favorite ingredients! Not only for its innumerable health benefits but also for its versatility. Spinach can be served raw in salads, wraps, or on sandwiches.

Another thing I love about spinach is how affordable and easy it is. You can buy it fresh by the pound or conveniently frozen.
