In case you didn't know or think this title is a joke, National Spinach Day is an actual worldwide holiday celebrating the greatness that is spinach.  Spinach is a leafy green superfood that is rich in iron, protein, and many beneficial vitamins.  Often times people associate healthy foods with not being tasty, but that couldn't be further from the truth.  Chef's Plate has teamed up with us to show you how to incorporate this highly beneficial vegetable into your meals in a delicious way.  

3 Ways to Enjoy Spinach, an Under-Celebrated Veggie that Over Delivers!

Spinach is used in over a thousand recipes around the globe including salads, dips, pastas, smoothies, and more. In fact in the past 20 weeks, leading meal kit company, Chefs Plate, has used it in 154 delicious recipes, such as, Steak & Spinach Salad with Caesar Dressing, Three Cheese & Spinach Stuffed Calzones with Marinara Dipping Sauce, Mediterranean Spinach & Feta Pasta with Roasted Red Bell Peppers, to name a few!

This leafy green veggie doesn’t get the love that it deserves considering its long list of health benefits and the effortless ways you can incorporate it in a meal. Whether raw or cooked, Spinach has a distinct flavor and is packed with nutrients. It is rich in vitamin A, vitamin C, vitamin K, iron, and magnesium, while also being a great mood-boosting agent!
