There were several reasons why Popeye loved spinach so much! It’s rich in iron, vitamins C and E, potassium, and magnesium. It helps support immune function, may have anticancer properties, and aids the digestive system. However, too much raw spinach might be difficult for some people because of the high fiber content, so cooking it is the answer. There has never been a more delicious way to eat your spinach than this Greek Spinach Casserole. If Popeye had only known!
