Why spinach earns a spot on THE FAD's top 100 anti-inflammatory foods list.
Spinach is a good source of fibre, magnesium and plant pigments like lutein, along with dietary nitrates that are studied in relation to blood vessel function.
Spinach cooks down significantly — a large raw bunch reduces to a small serving, so it's an easy way to add volume without much effort.
