Mandolin Spinach

Developed in the Netherlands, Mandolin spinach has deep green, glossy leaves shaped like paddles. These thick leaves are quite pliable, yet maintain a crisp texture, making them ideal for raw applications like salads, yet also well-suited for soups, pasta dishes and simple sautéed side-dishes. You can add Mandolin spinach to quiche and mixed green salads, or you can simply use it in place of other greens in a variety of recipes. Besides, this European hybrid spinach, like its true spinach cousin, is rich in iron and vitamins A and C. Since spinach is a rich source of vitamin A, lutein, and zeaxanthin, it benefits eyesight. These vitamins and antioxidants could indeed help prevent people from suffering from itching eyes, eye ulcers, and dry eyes.
