Spinach is the best and most underrated vegetable

Guys we are going to talk about motherfetching spinach. This stuff is awesome. Reasons:

Popeye
7 calories will give you like 56% of your Vitamin A for the day which is just about the best calorie -> nutrition ratio ever
Put some baby spinach on a plate. Add cherry tomatoes, shredded cheese, some chicken and maybe some eggs. CONGRATS you just made a super tasty salad in like two minutes.

PLEBEIAN VEGETABLES STAY OUT, spinach is the true king.

Spinach done Italian style (basically with lemon, olive oil and seasoning) is so yummy. Pretty sure the hate for spinach comes from people who haven't had it cooked properly, just like with brussel sprouts.

oh man brussel sprouts is the other best vegetable.

Orange is the best letter in the alphabet. Potatoes are the best kind of fruits. George Bush was the best monarch ever.

I can say crazy things that aren't true too!

Regarding brussel sprouts: Nope.

Spinach is amazing, and so versatile.

You might be right about it being underrated, but the best? Have we forgotten that potatoes give us french fries and potato chips?

Potatoes.

Corn chips > potato chips

Botanically speaking, corn is a caryopsis (dry fruit, i.e. a grain) therefore it has no place in this discussion. Nutritionally, fresh corn can still be considered a vegetable, but corn chips are made with dried corn. Besides, cheddar and sour cream Ruffles > Doritos anyway.
