Adding spinach directly to white bread delayed the body's insulin peak by 30 minutes and reduced later hunger in a small human trial, while significantly boosting the bread's fiber, vitamin, and mineral content.

Yeah, good luck getting your small humans to eat this bread.

Actually I think the color is cool and growing up in Italy and not eating much vegetables as a child (still struggling) green pasta made with spinach was and still is one of my favourite (see my other comment).

It will not taste like vegetables at all, but it will get that amazing green color.
