It's the leafy green that kept Popeye fit for years. Any way you serve it- sauteed, salad fresh, as a sandwich accessory- "strong to the finish" spinach is, calorie for calorie, the most nutritious food there is. Vitamins K, A, C, B2, folate, magnesium, calcium, iron, potassium- the list is endless, and all for 7 calories per cup (raw). But after all the new research that's out, is frozen the way to go? "Yup!" says New York City nutritionist Sophie Pachella. "Frozen vegetables may be even more healthful than some of the fresh produce sold in supermarkets. Fruits and vegetables chosen for freezing tend to be processed at their peak when they're most nutrient-packed. Fresh produce may have traveled for days- not to mention the time it spends sitting in your fridge."
