Spinach is a type of food that appears in select tins. Eating spinach will provide 600 nutrition if blessed or 401-600 nutrition if uncursed [1] (much more than other tins) and will increase your strength: "This makes you feel like Popeye!" (or "Swee'pea", if hallucinating). Eating cursed tin of spinach will provide 201-600 nutrition but decrease your strength.
The amount of strength increase is as follows: [2] [3]
| Current strength | Gain |
|---|---|
| 17 or less |
|
| 18–18/84 |
|
| 18/85 or more |
|
Cursed tins of spinach contain a “decaying green substance” (or “decaying substance” if you are blind)[4]. If you decide to eat it, you lose the amount of strength you would otherwise have gained.
The use of Spinach and its effects in NetHack is a reference to comic strip character Popeye, who gains incredible strength after ingesting the vegetable.
