Spinach is an incredible source of vitamins, minerals, protein, antioxidants, and many other essential nutrients. To top it all off, dried spinach flakes are delicious and taste great in just about any recipe. Dried spinach has an extremely high nutritional value and is rich in antioxidants. It is a good source of vitamins A, B2, C and K, and also contains magnesium, manganese, folate, iron, calcium and potassium. The flavonoids and antioxidants found in dried spinach, particularly the antioxidant beta-carotene, have been shown in multiple studies to help combat many cancers, including breast, prostate and ovarian cancer. Spinach also boosts eye health and has strong anti-ageing properties.

Spinach is bursting with folate, which makes it one of the best foods to eat when pregnant. Folate is a B vitamin that is imperative to healthy infant development. It helps prevent serious defects of the spine and brain. Don't rely solely on your prenatal vitamins for your folate intake.
