It’s been more than 60 years since the cartoon hero Popeye debuted. Since then, the beloved sailor’s favorite dish — Spinach — has also gained a lot of fans worldwide.

“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.”

Spinach is a nutritional powerhouse. It’s low in calories but high in vitamins, nutrients and filling fiber — making it a superfood. Plus, this earthy, leafy green is more flavorful than lettuce but less bitter than kale (and both are fantastic too!).
