Savoy spinach has a crisp and chewy texture that becomes more enjoyable as it matures. Young leaves add a delicate, sweet, and earthy flavor when eaten raw, while mature leaves are heartier and bolder compared to regular flat-leaf spinach, offering an earthy, grassy taste with hints of bitterness. When cooked, the leaves soften and taste sweeter. Also known as Curly Leaf spinach, it’s often used in cooked dishes for its texture, flavor, and vibrant color.
Savoy spinach is rich in vitamins A, C, and K, along with iron, folate, manganese, and key minerals. Its antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties help protect cells and support overall health.
