Spinach & Malabar Spinach

Best popularized by Popeye the Sailor Man for giving him superhuman strength after consuming it, spinach is actually one of the most nutritious greens available. The vegetable contains significant amounts of vitamins A, B6, B9, C, K, iron, magnesium, and manganese.

The Malabar variety (Basella alba) is actually not even a spinach at all, but rather a substitute grown in the summer, where it thrives in hot temperatures.
