Spinach And All It’s Glory

by Shelly

spinach.jpgSpinach, nutritionally, outscores even the much-praised broccoli, with a long list of vitamins and minerals. Spinach itself also is one of the richest sources of lutein, a plant chemical that protects against age-related blindness. This leafy wonder is convient too: Just open a bag of prewashed spinach for salads or sandwiches. For cooking, you can choose the more economical frozen package.

Earthly Eating Recipe:

Dried Tomatoes
Makes 16 pieces

Use this robust, colorful additive to invigorate a bland meal.
Slice 8 plum tomatoes in half length wise. Set on baking rack, cut side up, and sprinkle with fine sea salt. Place in a 140°F oven for 12 hours until brittle. Cool and seal in a zip-top bag or plastic container. They will keep at room temperature for a week, or several months refrigerated.

Happy Eating!
