My spinach salad

Spinach is a native plant of Persia (modern day Iran). It was introduced to China in the 7th century.

It was most probably brought to Europe in about the 12th century and to the US in 1806.

Medieval artists extracted green pigment from spinach to use as an ink or paint.

Spinach has an undeserved reputation for being high in iron. 

In 1870, Dr. E von Wolf measured the iron content of spinach, but placed the decimal point in the wrong position. 

Spinach leaves are a mild diuretic and mild laxative.
