About Spinach and arugula

Spinach and arugula are nutrient-dense leafy greens commonly used in salads, smoothies, and a variety of cuisines worldwide. Spinach, originating from Persia, is packed with vitamins A, C, and K, as well as iron, calcium, and antioxidants that support bone health, immunity, and eye health. Arugula, a peppery green native to the Mediterranean, is rich in vitamin K, folate, and phytochemicals, which may help combat inflammation and oxidative stress. Both greens are low in calories and offer dietary fiber, making them ideal for weight management and digestion. While spinach contains oxalates that might hinder calcium absorption in large amounts, it remains a nutritious choice when balanced with other foods. These versatile greens deliver bold flavors and vital nutrients, earning their spot in healthy eating routines across the globe.
