Spinach Salad with Sliced Egg and Smoky Tempeh: Monday, July 28, 2025

In 1879, German chemist Erich Von Wolf misplaced a decimal point while researching the iron content of spinach and created a legendary food. He meant to write that the iron content was 3.5 grams per 100 gram serving, but instead wrote 35 grams per 100 grams.
Don’t worry though, your desire to eat a healthy spinach salad is not misplaced. It is still wonderfully nutritious, particularly when you consume it with all the other goodies that are in tonights salad.

Giambotta: Monday, July 21, 2025
