Spanakorizo

Traditional accompaniments to the spinach and rice meal spanakorizo include lemon, feta, and olive oil. It may be used as a side dish or a main course. One of the veggies with the highest nutritious content is spinach. The following nutrients are included in one cup (30 grams):

• Vitamin A: 469 mcg (52% of the DV)
• Vitamin C: 28.1 mg (31% of the DV)
• Vitamin K: 483 mcg (403% of the DV)
• Folate: 194 mcg (49% of the DV)
• Potassium: 558 mg (12% of the DV)
• Iron: 2.7 mg (15% of the DV)

Additionally, spinach has a lot of antioxidants that protect cells from oxidative stress and combat free radicals. For instance, it has quercetin, which prevents infection and inflammation, and lutein and zeaxanthin, which enhance eye health. Numerous B vitamins and minerals, including manganese, selenium, and iron, are also abundant in rice. But unlike iron from meat, iron from plant sources like rice and spinach is not as easily absorbed by the body. But this meal has lemon in it, which could be helpful. According to an earlier study, the citric acid and vitamin C in lemons help with the food's ability to absorb iron. A more recent study is required on this topic.
