It is no more good for you than any other vegetable unless you eat acid at
the same meal. I love it, though. My number 1 favorite way of eating it is
as the maitre d' at a local restaurant does it. Steam the spinach-- you can
do enough for several meals if you like-- then drain very well. It can help
to wrap it in a clean dishtowel and wring it out, but I rarely do that.

In a frying pan, for each 1.5 to 2 cups of cooked spinach, heat a tablespoon
or so of really good olive oil, toss in a clove of minced garlic and a pinch
of crushed or powdered hot pepper. Toss together until well mixed and
heated through. Correct for salt.

We can buy various greens already cleaned, steamed and made into a ball
wrapped in plastic. Small fridges make that useful. You can do the exact
same thing with homemade ones and they'll be ready to use for several days.
