It grows well across a wide range of soils provided they are fertile, consistently moist and well drained, and is best grown through the cooler months rather than during the hottest part of the year.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpinach originated in ancient Persia and spread through Asia and Europe before becoming an important cool-season leafy vegetable worldwide. The young leaves can be eaten raw, while larger leaves are excellent steamed, sautéed, wilted into curries and pasta, or added to soups, pies and egg dishes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSpinach is nutrient-rich, providing vitamins A, C and K, folate, iron, calcium and fibre.
