Spinach

Spinach is rich in chlorophyll, the green pigment found in plants which helps prevent and treat anaemia. Spinach is a good source of betacarotene and vitamin C so do not overcook it or will destroy a lot of its content. But despite popular opinion - and Popeye - it is not a particularly good source of iron.
