Are you looking for a food that can make you "strong to the finish"? According to the 2005 Dietary Guidelines for Americans, a half cup of cooked spinach can offer: 573 μg of Vitamin A, 3.2 mg of iron, 81 mg of magnesium, 3.5 grams of dietary fiber, 419 mg of potassium,1.9 mg of Vitamin E, and even 146 mg of calcium. So, Popeye was right- you should eat your spinach. And while you're at it, why not throw in a little olive oil too?
