why do people obsess over spinach specifically? peas are much better IMO, but also there's haricots verts and broccoli.. like there are other frozen vegetables than spinach!
It's a bit of rabbit hole, but in essence Popeye the sailor man started the myth of spinach being super healthy.
It is significantly healthier than what most sailors would have been eating at the time.
that makes sense, and jives with it seeming to be a mostly anglo thing
Spinach tends to be something that you buy with the intention of eating healthier, but use infrequently enough that it might go bad before you use it.
Peas and broccoli are, depending on cuisine, more commonly used.
