Organic Spinach Powder 200g
Green vegetables consist of a large number of components such as flavonoids, tannins and other phenolic compounds that are proven to provide significant support to health management in helping to reduce the risk of chronic diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer and other degenerative illnesses.
Spinach (Spinacia oleracea) is a plant that grows all over the world as a cool-season annual green leafy vegetable. It provides a good source of protein, fiber, and minerals, as well as a source of major micronutrients such as iron, manganese, zinc, and magnesium and also contains small quantities of vitamin E, A, C, K, folate, thiamine (B1), pyridoxine (B6) and riboflavin (B2). It is also a rich source of fiber and has an added benefit of a low calorie content. It is present in food in many forms such as raw, canned, boiled, pureed, frozen, dehydrated, cooked and baked.
Spinach powder is produced by dehydrating fresh spinach leaves and gently grinding them in order to retain all of the nutrients found in spinach.
