Spinach for baby led weaning
Spinach is one of our favourite foods. Not only is it jam packed full of incredible nutrients that will look after your and your baby’s health, it’s really versatile too and can be used in so many different meals.
We love throwing spinach into pancake batter, using it to create healthy vegetarian burgers and adding it to curries and pasta dishes too.

- Contains insoluble fibre which may help to prevent constipation
- Packed full of Vitamin C for a healthy immune system
