Spinach is rich in the antioxidants vitamin C, beta-carotene and lutein, which help your child’s body to fight unstable, disease-causing free radicals and protect it against cancer. Long renowned as an excellent source of iron, spinach, in fact, contains no more iron than any other leafy vegetable. Pureed spinach is great for babies so pop a Nuti-Kids block in with one of his favourite purees or you can mix it into one of the kiddies meals for older children.
