Did you know? Spinach is thought to have originated in ancient Persia (Iran).

Spinach made its way to China in the 7th century when the king of Nepal sent it as a gift to China.

Spinach has a much more recent history in Europe than many other vegetables. It was only brought to that continent in the 11th century, when the Moors introduced it into Spain.

In fact, for a while, spinach was known as "the Spanish vegetable" in England.
