The Greens

[Abu Hind]

 

The most abundant color provided to plants is GREEN.

 

And among the edible greens, SPINACH is the king as far as the nutritional value is concerned. Spinach is one of the most nutrient-packed vegetables and its raw juice is an excellent source of chlorophyll.  It is also a superb source of vitamins A, B complex, C, E, K, carotenes, folate, manganese, calcium, iron, iodine, magnesium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, some trace elements and many valuable amino acids. The minerals in spinach are highly alkaline, making it helpful in regulating the body pH.  It supplies the same amount of protein as you would get from the same quantity of meat, a cheaper and healthier alternative to getting protein.

 

But most of the nutritional value is lost by cooking, & it is better to drink raw spinach juice, the taste is grassy & it should be mixed with carrot or apples juice. Juicing spinach is only possible with auger type juicers.
