There’s no doubt that every country in Europe is famous for something – they have their own national symbols like flags, dishes, alcoholic beverages, animals, sports etc. But have you ever thought about the national flowers of European countries?
National Spinach Day
24.07.2023 - 12:33 / hgic.clemson.edu
March is typically filled with just about everything green, from St. Patrick’s Day to a great time to start planting your spring leafy vegetables. March 26th is National Spinach Day and is also one of my favorite leafy greens. Spinach can help compliment any meal whether stewed, tossed with other vegetables or blended into a smoothie. Spinach is naturally fat-free, cholesterol free and high in dietary fiber, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, iron, and folate. For more information on folate, see HGIC 4068, Folate.
When shopping for spinach to compliment your meal, be sure to look for fresh, bright green, crisp, whole leaves without bruises or tears. For more information on leafy green basics, see HGIC 3532, Leafy Green Basics. Spinach by the bunch can cost less than purchasing pre-packaged ready to eat spinach, so if you’re into saving a few bucks, spinach by the bunch is the way to go. Before you enjoy this tasty and nutritious leafy green, be sure to wash your spinach under cool running water. Rub briskly with your hands to help remove dirt and surface microorganisms. When storing, loosely wrap spinach in a damp paper towel and place in a plastic bag and refrigerate for up to 5 days.
National Spinach Day is a great day to set new goals to help increase your intake. Try a new spinach dish or even start your home garden off with this mighty green, you will be in for a nutritious treat! For more information on growing spinach see, HGIC 1320, Spinach.
