“Don’t forget to eat your Spinach!” I would cringe every time my mom or dad said that to me as a child. They would say look how strong in makes Popeye. I would say, no thank you! Over the years, my tastes have changed and I have grown to like this healthy super food. It is loaded with vitamins and minerals. It also contains a very high amount of protein — which means we can eat a lot of it. Spinach really is vegetable with a ton of health benefits. It is also one of the best sources of potassium (even better than bananas) and very good for your digestive system.

Here in the Garden State, we started harvesting our spring spinach here at Russo’s last week. We only grow spinach in the spring and fall on our farm because it can’t take the hot summer heat in New Jersey. I love when our fruits and vegetables come into season. Fresh is definitely best! It’s also very cost-effective too! Be sure to check out your local farmers’ market for all the healthy seasonal produce that is starting to come into season. Let me know how you make out!
