easy creamed spinach
(3 ratings)
This vegetable dish has been a favorite for many years. Spinach is low in calories and is a good source of vitiman C and A, and also minerals, especially iron. Spinach is best eaten fresh. It loses nutritional properties with each passing day. Although refrigeration slows the deterioration, half of the major nutrients are lost by the eighth day after harvest.
