Spinach

Spinach is not only a superfood for cartoon heroes like Popeye! Spinach is so rich in vitamin K that it takes half of a traditional serving, or half-a-cup of this superfood to get five times the recommended daily dose of this vital vitamin! Vitamin K helps prevent blood clots and ensures that your bones grow and stay strong. Spinach tastes great as a salad topper or as a salad base, and this leafy green is high in fiber, lutein, folate, and potassium. This means that your next meal with spinach will be guarding you against heart disease.
