FOOD for THOUGHT
Spinach is a super source of folic acid. Necessary for all cells to function normally, folic acid is lacking in the diets of many people. Recent studies show that as much as 40 percent of the American population don't meet their folic acid requirement.

"A very easy recipe using two of my favorites: bread and spinach. Besides using the bread as a dipper, I used baby carrots, colorful peppers and any other veggies I had on hand. Eating colorful foods like fresh veggies just made me feel like I was doing something really good for myself." -Judy O.
