Just like beets, spinach is another type of food that’s rich in nitrate. So, as you might expect, we say that it’s best for you to serve your spinach raw, or lightly sautéed, which will not only save you a lot of time, but it will also be healthier and safer.
Also, it’s worth mentioning that nitrates, which are another byproduct of heating foods rich in nitrate, aren’t safe for infants that are less than 6 months old.
