Spinach
Spinach is a leafy vegetable with tender dark green leaves and a mildly earthy, slightly bitter flavour. It is one of the most nutritious vegetables, rich in iron, calcium, vitamin K, vitamin C and folic acid. It is eaten fresh in salads, as well as steamed, blanched or frozen. When cooked, it reduces significantly in volume. Its culinary uses are very varied: in sauces and cream soups, as a filling for pasta, quiche, pancakes or omelettes. It pairs beautifully with garlic dressing, ricotta, eggs or cream. Baby spinach is more tender and better suited to salads, while mature spinach holds up better to cooking.

It is used as an addition to soups, sauces, pasta, dumplings and gnocchi, lending a vivid green colour and a mild, slightly earthy flavour. It is also popular as the base for green pesto or creamy dips. Thanks to its high content of iron, vitamin K and folic acid, it is a nutritious component of any diet. In the kitchen it saves time compared to processing fresh spinach and guarantees a consistent result. It can easily be frozen and used throughout the year.

The sprouts have a sweet, mildly nutty flavor and can be used both raw and cooked. They are added to salads, muesli, smoothies, yogurts or used as a garnish for soups. They also form the basis for preparing wheatgrass juice. Sprouted wheat is an excellent source of fiber, antioxidants, iron and magnesium.
