HEALTH & BENEFITS

Spinach is an incredibly nutritious vegetable that contains a range of vitamins and minerals such as Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Folate, Iron and Vitamin K.
On the other hand, bacon is loaded with protein, vitamins, and minerals. However, it is also high in salt and is therefore not very healthy in large quantities. You can substitute bacon with boiled chicken or turkey breast for a healthier option.
