Benefits of spinach

Before we get to the recipe I want to let you know that spinach isn’t just for Popeye.

Spinach is for everyone. For starters it brings a lovely peppery falvor to your food but then it is absolutely packed with goodness.

Spinach is a great source of

• Vitamin K
• Vitamin A
• Vitamin C
• Folate
• Manganese
• Magnesium
• Iron
• Vitamin B2

I think you will agree, that is quite a list and I take every opportunity I can to throw in some spinach to a toastie and it goes especially well in a breakfast toastie.

But right now it is going to help turn some dull chicken leftovers into a shining star of a toasted sandwich.
