Horenso Japanese Spinach 新鮮日本菠菜

Description

ほうれん草

You may be used to eating spinach leaves in salads, or sautéed.  In Japan spinach is rarely eaten raw. The most common way to eat spinach is to blanch it briefly. You may lose some nutrients when you do this, but it's more than made up for I think by the fact that you can eat a whole lot more spinach than in a salad or so.  The Japanese version, horenso, originates from Sakura, and is particularly dense in calcium and iron.  

菠菜口感鮮嫩、味道清爽澀味淡，是日本人常用的蔬菜之一。含豐富的抗氧化物及維他命A、C，有益於眼睛健康、抗氧化、預防癌症及降血壓。
