Spinach has its origins in ancient Persia and was introduced to the Mediterranean region by the 9th century. By the Middle Ages, spinach had gained fame in England, both for its medicinal properties and its use in salads. Queen Catherine de Medici, renowned for her beauty, was particularly fond of this vegetable and demanded that it be included in every meal. Since then, dishes that contain spinach have been referred to as "Florentine." Viroflay spinach, in particular, is a French heirloom variety that was developed before 1866 and is highly regarded for its gourmet taste.
