Spinach

Japanese
Ho-renso (ほうれん草)

Spinach is rich in iron, beta-carotene, and Vitamin C. In Yakuzen, it is thought that spinach nourishes the blood, moistens your organs, and relieves chronic constipation.

For constipation relief use, I suggest you eat it with sesame seeds which also moisten your intestines. Not only good for constipation relief but also a great source for dry skin.

Don't throw away the pink (red) part of the root. It contains goodies for your health.
