Spinach originated in ancient Persia, eventually making its way to Italy in 827 and finally gracing European tables in the 1300s. Its appearance in early spring made this a fast favorite when other vegetables were scarce during Lenten diets. For this reason, spinach has the great honor of being mentioned in the first known English cookbook.
When Catherine de'Medici became the queen of France in 1522, she insisted that spinach be served at every meal because she loved it so. Today when you hear of spinach dishes referred to as "Florentine," that is because Catherine was born in Florence. refer: National spinach day – Eatocracy - CNN.com Blogs

DeleteSalam Bangchik, did you buy the seeds? Can get from the spinach itself? I'm experimenting a lot of veggies now and bayam is my favorite :)
ReplyDeleteWslm Ash..... I bought fresh seeds because seeds saved from Pasir Gudang days I simply cant locate... probably stuck in one of the many boxes.
