🌱 Why is it nourishing?
Spinach is a green vegetable rich in iron and folate, both valuable at this stage; combined with potato it makes a soft, velvety texture that is easy to spoon. Extra virgin olive oil can help the absorption of fat-soluble vitamins and adds a light creaminess. With its plain, additive-free character, this meal can be a gentle option for introducing tastes one by one.
