It’s been more than 60 years since the cartoon hero Popeye debuted. Since then, the beloved sailor’s favorite dish — spinach — has gained a lot of fans. The average American today eats about 1.5 pounds of this leafy green vegetable every year.
“Spinach is one of the most nutritious foods you can eat,” says registered dietitian Kayla Kopp, RD, LD. “It’s also very easy to use. Raw or cooked, spinach is great in salads, appetizers, smoothies and main dishes.”
