Give the Bland Spinach a Tasty Twist with these Sumptuous Dishes

Do you know there’s a super tasty way to include spinach in your diet every day?

We all abhorred spinach as kids, didn’t we? Some even continue to do so even now but consume it reluctantly due to its numerous health benefits. Spinach is an excellent source of vitamin A, vitamin C and folate, and is rich in manganese, magnesium, iron and vitamin B2. It is a storehouse of Vitamin K, which is essential for maintaining bone health. Apart from your bones, this superfood is an absolute must-have for its benefits like blood sugar stabilization, hypertension reduction, immunity boosting and cancer risk reduction. Not just that, spinach keeps your body relaxed, improves eyesight, improves hair texture, aids in weight reduction and has great anti-inflammatory properties.
