Origin
Spinach is believed to have originated in ancient Persia (modern-day Iran) and was then introduced to other regions of the world. It was later cultivated in the Mediterranean region, particularly in ancient Greece and Rome. Spinach became popular in Europe during the Middle Ages and eventually made its way to North America through European settlers. Today, spinach is grown in many parts of the world, including Europe, Asia, and the Americas.
