Nutrition Facts
Spinach is rich in antioxidants such as lutein, zeaxanthin and vitamins A and C. Lutein and zeaxanthin help protect the eyes from free radical damage, which may help prevent macular degeneration (worsening eyesight due to aging).
One cup of raw spinach leaves provides 100% of the vitamin A and 25% of the vitamin C most people need in a day. The brighter the green of your spinach leaves, the higher they are in vitamin C.
Spinach contains plant nutrients called glycoglycerolipids. In animal studies, glycoglycerolipids have been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects on the digestive system. Inflammation is associated with higher risk of chronic diseases. Other plant nutrients in spinach called flavonoids have been shown to prevent skin cancers in animal studies and to prevent stomach cancer cells from dividing in cell studies.
