The Benefit

While spinach is one of the most nutritious foodstuffs around, the body benefit it's most famous for – iron – just doesn't stand up (thanks a lot, Popeye). But while iron isn't spinach's strongpoint, potassium is, and that's what will kick-start your day.

Most commonly known as an electrolyte, potassium is also key to aiding the metabolism of sugar to glycogen, providing you with energy from the off.
