Subs for Spinach

Tuesday October 3, 2006
Spinach is making its way back to grocery store shelves in some areas, but if you're still wondering what beneficial foods you can eat instead, make these healthful, nutritious staples a part of your healthy diet. They have some of the same nutritional benefits as spinach, as indicated:

  1. Vitamin B1: green peas, sunflower seeds
  2. Vitamin B6: bananas, acorn squash
  3. Vitamin C: broccoli, snow peas, red peppers, tomato juice
  4. Vitamin K: leafy greens such as Bibb lettuce, cabbage, Brussels sprouts
  5. Folate: green beans, asparagus, okra, various canned beans (e.g. pinto, navy)
