It can also provide 377 percent of the daily value of vitamin A. Spinach is also rich in manganese, folate, magnesium, iron, vitamin C and B-vitamins. Spinach is also excellent in protecting the arteries from hardening. The folate of this vibrant looking vegetable can decrease the homocysteine levels in the blood.
