What makes spinach so powerful?

Spinach has only about 23 calories per 100 g and is mostly water, which is why a large bowl is almost free. It wilts to a small fraction of its volume when cooked, so a cup of cooked spinach is several handfuls of raw. It supplies vitamin K, folate and iron, though the iron is plant-based and absorbs better with vitamin C. Eating it with lemon or tomato helps.
