    This healthy dish of Sautéed Creamed Spinach & Strawberry with Pistachios came about one night when I was contemplating what to serve alongside some fish I was cooking for dinner.

    Since I had strawberries in the fridge that I needed to use before they spoiled, I tossed some into the sautéed creamed spinach I was preparing. The completed dish tasted amazing, and turned out to be a feast for the eyes as well as the taste buds!

    What are some of the health benefits of sautéed spinach?

    • When you eat spinach that has been heated you will absorb higher levels of vitamins E and A, fiber, zinc, calcium, iron, and protein.

    What are some of the health benefits of strawberries?

    • Strawberries are abundant in vitamins C and B9 which promotes normal tissue growth and cell function.
    • Strawberries are also high in manganese and potassium which help to regulate blood pressure.

    What about pistachios? Are there health benefits to pistachios as well?

    You bet. Did you know...

    • Pistachios contain more antioxidants than most seeds and nuts. Only pecans and walnuts contain more.
    • Among other nuts, pistachios contain the highest content of lutein and zeaxanthin, both of which are very important antioxidants for eye health.
    • Pistachios have a higher ratio than any other nut of amino acids, which are the essential building blocks of protein.
