Spinach is a type of food that appears in select tins. Eating it will provide 600 nutrition [1] (much more than other tins) and will increase your strength: "This makes you feel like Popeye!" (or "Swee'pea", if hallucinating)
The amount of strength increase is as follows:[2]
| Current strength | Gain |
|---|---|
| 18 or less |
|
| 18/01–18/84 |
|
| 18/85 or more |
|
Cursed tins of spinach contain a “decaying green substance”[3] which makes 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.
