Description

Spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) is a leafy green vegetable plant of the Amaranthaceous family that originated from ancient Persia. It is a good source of protein, fiber, vitamins (such as A, B6, C, K, and folate), and minerals (such as calcium and iron), and is therefore extensively consumed across the globe. Spinach powder is a fine powder made entirely from spinach. It can be said that the preparation of spinach powder is a new way to increase the consumption period of spinach. This powder can be used as colorant and additive in a variety of food or non-food formulations.

Health Benefits

  • Promotes Eye Health

  • Prevents Cancer

Spinach contains monogalactosyl diacylglycerol (MGDG) and sulfoquinovosyl diacylglycerol (SQDG), which help to slow down the growth of cancer. It is reported that people who consumed spinach more than twice a week have a lower risk of rising breast cancer [1]. Therefore, spinach powder may be able to prevent cancer to some extent.
