It is easier to grow and could be harvested fresh within 60 days of sowing. It is the best crop choice during fall and spring. Though spinach is a commonly available vegetable, growing spinach at home will ensure it is pesticide-free. Homegrown spinach further gives the satisfaction of knowing it's free from bacteria like e-Coli. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eBenefits\/ Uses\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003eSpinach is high in \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003einsoluble fibre \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003ewhich is great for the digestive tract. 100 grams of spinach contains \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cb\u003e2.2 grams of fibre.\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eVitamin C\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-weight: 400;\"\u003e is essential to improve immunity, regulate bone formation and fasten wound healing.
