    Both, but I'll take spinach if I had to choose one. I like it raw, steamed, on pizza. I don't care.

    Spinach. Broccoli is a vile weed as Newman would say.

    Both have applications in my diet... raw spinach in my smoothies and salads

    I often have 2/3 a head of boiled broccoli with some cooked meat for lunch and/or as a side at dinner.

    If i had to chose one it would be broccoli. I can just eat it for days.

    I find steamed spinach really boring plain so I eat a lot of steamed broccoli. I like the flavor. Broccoli's also cheaper (I can find it frozen for 99c/lb, I can't find frozen spinach that cheap).

    Both. And they're also good sauteed in a little olive oil...

    I don't like cooked spinach at all. It's gross. I do, however like it raw. Broccoli is good both ways. So, if you really want to cook it, then broccoli, if you're making a salad, then both.

    I can only eat raw spinach leaves or steamed broccoli. I can't tolerate cooked spinach, and I really dislike raw broccoli. Weird?

    This. Although I can't eat too much raw broccoli...makes me bloated..

    Steamed spinach is repulsive and soggy. Raw spinach is cool. So I say steamed broccoli over steamed spinach, but raw spinach over raw broccoli.

    I also like to have spinach in my salad. Raw spinach is good. I don't eat broccoli much. It seems nice and fit when steamed. Steaming food kind of mixes their taste. I don't like spinach all mixed up in my food.

    Spinach sauteed in a little garlic and olive oil! I used to work at an Italian restaurant and ate that all the time :) I do like broccoli, but not like spinach.

    Oh, a raw spinach salad with strawberries, their juice, a touch of oil and poppy seeds is really good, too.

    Broccoli. Spinach has too much oxalate.

    Steamed is boring!

    Saute the spinach and roast the broccoli. MUCH better.

    I love broccoli any way. Steamed spinach South Asian style with ghee, curry, and a little sugar is my favourite:)

    I personally would take raw spinach & steamed broccoli! I don't like steamed spinach or raw broccoli, so it all works out! I love spinach raw because it's so versatile. I can make salads with it, put it on sandwiches & wraps - it's so good!
