Popeye loved spinach, but he was bald. How can that be when we now know that spinach should have left him with enviable locks? 

While Popeye turned to spinach to build muscles, you’ll be turning to it for what it can do for your hair. This superfood is loaded with protein, iron, vitamins, and minerals. Spinach can play an important role in healthy hair, skin and a strong body.

The large amount of vitamin A found in spinach moderates the production of sebum or natural oils that moisturize the skin and hair through pores and follicles. 

The vitamin C in spinach is a key ingredient in collagen, which provides structure to skin and hair. Collagen holds your body together, and when it thrives in your body it adds strength to all structures including your hair.

On top of all the health benefits you get from these spinach chips, you’ll love the way they taste. This is a really healthy way to curb your salty, crispy cravings. So next time you want a potato chip, ditch the chip and opt for homemade spinach crisps instead.
