Spinach, dried

Dried spinach is spinach with most of its water removed. The nutrient values shown here are calculated from raw spinach rather than measured directly in a dried product. It provides protein and minerals, including calcium and potassium. Per 100g, it contains 24g of protein, 1480mg of calcium, 4350mg of potassium and 3g of salt.

Protein contributes to the maintenance and repair of body tissues, while calcium helps maintain bones and teeth. Removing water concentrates nutrients by weight, so dried spinach is not directly comparable with the same weight of fresh spinach. Its salt content is worth noting for people monitoring salt intake. Full nutrient figures are given in the tables below.
