Spinach powered battery?

Everyone knows spinach powered Popeye, but have you ever heard of a spinach powered battery?

Some researchers found that using spinach actually increased battery power! They picked spinach because of its high iron and nitrogen content, and have been “surprised” by how well it’s worked.

If all that green can power a battery, it’s no wonder that it is such a great super food for the human body! Spinach has been shown to possibly help with improving blood glucose control in people with diabetes, lowering the risk of cancer, and improving bone health, as well as supplying minerals and vitamins that can provide a range of different health benefits.
