Spinach is not only mildly aromatic, but also healthy: it contains significant amounts of vitamins A, C, folic acid, potassium, calcium and magnesium. The iron content has been overestimated for a long time, but it is still impressive at a good 4 milligrams per 100 grams.
Baby spinach (or young spinach) is harvested at an earlier time. This makes the leaves smaller and particularly tender. The fine leaves of spring and summer spinach are also ideal for pesto or raw consumption!
