It�s had a reputation as being an incredibly healthy plant for as long as Popeye
has been popping open cans and giving Bluto a black eye. Spinach is probably one of
the alternately most loved and reviled vegetables to ever reach our plates. Fresh
Spinach Day is here to celebrate this dark leafy green and all the ways you can
prepare it so it�s wonderful!

Like many of the most delicious vegetables in the world, spinach finds its origins
in Ancient Persia, what is now Iran and a few of the neighboring countries. It was
introduced to India by some unknown benefactor, and then from there into China
where it was known as �Persian Vegetable� back in 647 AD. The story of spinach�s
travel around the world is one rivaled only by the Roman conquest of the area,
finding its way in Sicily by way of the Saracens, and spread throughout the
Mediterranean before finding its way to England and France in the 14th Century.
From there, it quickly stretched to every area of the world, moving with the wave
of Western Culture.
