Vegetable of the Month (in March)

Xavier prefers this leafy vegetable than "chai sim" and celery. Hence, I called it the vegetable of the month of March.

More information about this vegetable:
Spinach is one of the most nutrient-rich foods in the world. Its combination of vitamins, fiber, and anti-oxidants make it suited to a number of nutritional requirements.

Irene's Method of cooking:
1 bundle of the spinach washed thoroughly without the root. Chop and steam for 10 ~ 15 mins. Blend for puree or serve straight after steaming or mix with porridge (made of brown rice) for additional carbohydrate and fibre. Serve in one small bowl and freeze the remaining (and use up the soonest possible)

I never really liked spinach too (blame it on the popeye cartoons, always picturng spinach in cans..yuck!)...but since coming to NZ, I eat them quite a lot - they are reasonably cheap, and taste really godo with a bit of balsamic vinegar :)
