Trivia

Research published in Cell Press found that spinach helps to make muscles more efficient during a workout. This improves performance because of the increased efficiency of mitochondria.

Spinach has also been known to prevent cancer, and in one study it nearly halved the occurrence of colon tumors from about 58 percent to 32 percent in laboratory animals.
