Spinach is rich in iron. In addition to being used to make soup, stir-frying it with garlic is also a delicious way to cook it. When stir-frying spinach, remember to stir-fry it quickly over high heat to preserve the spinach's jade-green color and smooth, fresh taste.

Spinach is also called redroot spinach and parrot spinach. Because it is native to Persia, it is also called Persian spinach.

Spinach is tender, nutritious, and very cold-resistant. It is one of the main categories of vegetables to supplement the off-season supply in spring and autumn in the north. After quick freezing and refrigeration, it can also meet the demand for fine dishes during the Spring Festival.

Spinach is divided into two types according to leaf shape: round-leaf spinach and pointed-leaf spinach. Pointed-leaf spinach has narrow, thin, arrow-shaped leaves with smooth leaves and slender petioles. Round-leaf spinach has large, thick, shrunken leaves that are oval or elliptical, with short, thick petioles and good quality.

Inferior quality spinach - dull color, soft and limp leaves, not fresh and tender, mud on the roots, debris in the bundles, incomplete plants, and damaged and broken ones.

Poor quality spinach - it sprouts and blooms, is unclean, has leaves infested by insects and downy mildew, and has yellow and rotten leaves.
