Spinach King

Spinach King was established in 2011 by Lufefe Nomjana, from the RAA UCT graduate school of business. The aim of the company is to promote the consumption of spinach by producing innovative spinach products. Spinach contains all six major classes of nutrients and it is one of the most highly affordable vegetables in the world. Spinach King wants to make this nutritious product more easily accessible.
