Healthy, because
Even though spinach does not contain quite as much iron as was previously assumed, the green vegetable with a good 4 milligrams of iron still contains a fairly generous portion of the mineral. Great for blood formation. Eggs are also rich in lecithin, vitamin B2 and the nerve messenger choline. This ensures full concentration power.
Even smarter
But what's left, but heat up spinach? This is easily possible if you pay attention to a few things: For example, you should put the spinach leftovers in the refrigerator as soon as possible and keep them for no longer than two days. When reheating, the dish should be heated above 70 degrees for at least two minutes.
