I love the earthy flavor of raw spinach with nothing else

Yes, I like my spinach salad with nothing else on it. There is nothing like the flavor of those leafy greens...eating some right now :)

1. My sis says it tastes like dirt

in a good sort of way.

I think so too.

2. Yes I would have to say that

As bizarre as it sounds, Spinach has the "good" flavor from dirt - that taste you get in your mouth after being around a bunch of very fertile soil. Once you cook it, that flavor goes away (along with a lot of its nutrients)
