Spinach baby food

I make all of my own baby food. It is so easy to do, plus you know exactly what your baby is eating. Fortunately for me buuby is a great eater! It is so much fun to try new foods with him and watch his reactions.

Last week I made spinach. Very easy!
1 bag spinach
1/2 cup water
Rinse spinach and pull the spines off. Mix spinach and water in fry pan, over medium. It takes about 10 minutes for spinach to get mushy. Transfer to a blender.

It looks kind of gross but Bubby loved it!

After the pictures I have nutritional information.

Here is the spinach after it is blended up.

Spinach:Nutritional Information

Researchers have identified at least 13 different compounds in nutrient-rich Spinach that function as antioxidants and anti-cancer agents. Spinach has also been shown to help those suffering from osteoporosis, heart disease, colon cancer, arthritis and other diseases. Spinach is fat-and cholesterol-free, low in calories, high in fiber, high in folate (20 percent of daily requirement), and also provides 15 percent of the daily requirement of magnesium. Spinach is an excellent source of vitamin A (70 percent of daily requirement), vitamin C (25 percent of daily requirement) and iron (20 percent of daily requirement).
