Healthy, because
This low-calorie starter covers your daily requirement of vitamin A, also known as the "eye vitamin," because it supports healthy vision.
Even smarter
The fresher the spinach, the healthier. If possible, consume the spinach the same day you purchase them. After just two days' storage in the refrigerator, spinach loses a third of its original vitamin C content.
