Spinach - with Popeye's power

Hi there!

The spinach-centered Popeye crepe will be the crepe of the month in February at Creppy PalacsintaHáz.

Apropos of it I thought I shared some curiosities about this divisive and very healthy vegetable at the same time.

Spinach is one of the typical vegetable of the mediterranean regions. It is kept to be the healtiest salad plant, because it contains the most vitamins and minerals in accordance with any other vegetables. You can either eat cooked or raw version of spinach. There are several kinds of it, but it is sold as spinach everywhere. 

The season of it is in spring, you can buy the freshest kinds at that time, but the frozen version of it is also comfortable and tasty, which can be available the whole of the year.

Spinach is made and eaten in several ways. Italians make it with pine seeds and fish, greeks with feta, menta and rice, spicy in North-africa, while turks make burek - some kind of stuffed pasta - from it.

Spinach comes from the Middle East, from ancient Persia, where it can be found wild as yet. Great respecter of spinach was Cathlene Medici in Europe, who became French queen. The introduction of forms of culinary etiquette was belonged to her, for example the usage of fork at the table.

Spinach had its largest popularity by a cartoon character, Popeye, the sailor, who loves spinach, from what he takes exceptional power. He always eats the canned version of it, which is not as good as the meals from fresh spinach.

Unfortunately we do not eat enaough spinach in Hungary. In february we have the opporunity to improve it in Crepopy PalacsintaHáz, because the crepe of the month will be the Popeye crepe with spinach there.

I hope I managed to make you try it. :)
