Growing up my mom used to cook spinach which I used to eat with rice and dhal.Spinach is grown with the sugar cane on the farm .Farmers would hand pick spinach and put it together in a bundle and then bring to the market to sell. The price was at that time only 50 cents. My mom on her trip to the market would buy spinach and cooks it on Mondays because this was the vegetarian day for our family.Since Hindus are celebrating Krishna Janmashtmi this week they eat vegetarian the whole week and I am sure spinach will be one of the dish that would be on the table.
Spinach is very rich in fiber which prevents constipation and helps to maintain low blood sugar. Spinach is also rich in vitamins and is good for our skin Spinach is loaded with vitamins and nutrients,some of which is very hard to find in other vegetables.In other words spinach is a super nutrient vegetable because of it dark color.People cook spinach many different ways but today I will just cook it with cumin and garlic.
