Why, you ask? because spinach provides a wealth of vitamins and minerals, as well as carotenoid and flavonoid phytonutrients, which provide powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory protection. A one cup serving of cooked spinach contains 1110% of the daily value (DV) for vitamin K, 295% DV for vitamin A, 29% DV for vitamin C, 35% DV for iron and 24% DV for calcium.Why would anyone want to eat seaweed? Because sea vegetables offer the broadest range of minerals of any food, containing virtually all the minerals found in the ocean-the same minerals that are found in human blood. Sea vegetables are a very good source of the B-vitamin folate, and magnesium, and a good source of iron, calcium, and the B-vitamins riboflavin and pantothenic acid. In addition, seaweeds contain good amounts of lignans, plant compounds with cancer-protective properties.(facts from: ) Ingredients:
