Apart from Popeye, many people neglect spinach and its health benefits. Now, spinach chips may be a way to incorporate a love of spinach to a generation or group of people, least likely to eat the healthy vegetable.
Right now, many people love kale. Kale chip, kale salad, kale smoothies, etc. But one cannot live on kale alone, and hence the appeal of spinach chips. These chips are lightweight and crispy.
Some have never heard of spinach chips before; and others wonder how to make spinach chips.

Nutritional Facts of Spinach
Spinach is an essential, although neglected vegetable. It can be acquired year round, although it is in season during the spring. It is known for its health benefits in restoring energy (as green vegetables are known to do) and improving the blood quality. Spinach has a plethora of minerals: iron, magnesium, and manganese; and vitamins K, A, C, and B12. Vitamin K is vital in maintaining bone health, and no vegetable has a higher concentration of vitamin K than spinach.
When it comes to selecting spinach in a store, good spinach is dark green, and free from decay. The bag should be loosely packed, and will keep for about four days in the refrigerator. Here’s how to pick baby spinach:
Tips to bear in mind:
Wash before consumption (due to possible chemicals in the stems and leaves), but not before storage (as the water hastens the decaying process). The taste of raw spinach is more mild than the cooked alternative; many cooks recommend steaming the vegetable to preserve nutrients if you are not a fan of spinach chips.
