I was that way about spinach. Spinach and kale used to be very inexpensive here – they were cheaper than collard or turnip greens (which were still inexpensive). Now, kale is three times the price of collards. Spinach is nearly twice the cost. Millennials latched onto those foods as sexy super foods. It’s not sexy to eat collards. And, of course, trendy and sexy are reasons to drive up the price. 🙄

Spinach is really cheap here. Everybody buy it hoping to become Popeye the sailor. 🙂
Unfortunately we have these "influencers" who started to dictate the trends. And prices go up according to their taste. We are living weired times, my dear. 😔
Canned or frozen spinach is cheap here. Fresh spinach, especially baby spinach, is pricy when compared to collard or turnip greens, but less than kale. We use fresh baby spinach for salads and sandwiches all the time.
