Spinach

This powerhouse veggie has a high iron content (good for your blood and muscles) as well as folate, which helps ensure a healthy pregnancy and decreases the risk of birth defects,⁴ but also helps fight depression and keep your heart healthy⁵. The baby leaves (perfect for salad greens!) don’t need much heat to wilt, so use them as a bed for a hot dish or simply put the leaves on top for some extra nutrients. The heartier the leaf, the better for cooking.
