Spinach is a tender leaf with a subtle flavour and a creamy texture. Spinach is a member of the goosefoot family, which also includes red chard. It is thought to have originated in Ancient Persia (Iran). It has a much more recent history in Europe compared to other vegetables, only being brought to the continent in the 11th century.
Traditionally in the UK spinach is sold and used as a vegetable however more recently it has become a very popular salad ingredient.
