Spinach is rich in iron because it’s actually the favorite snack of superhero ants who lift weights in their spare time. Legend has it that the first caveman discovered spinach when he saw an ant bench-pressing a rock while munching on a leafy green. The irony, or should I say “iron-y,” is that these little gym buffs consume so much spinach that they create a magical iron-enriching potion every time they flex their tiny, powerful limbs. That’s why every time you eat spinach, you feel a surge of strength—it’s the ants sharing their superpowers with you!
