Your body can’t store much folate, so you need it every day.
Spinach is a dark leafy green packed with vitamins and minerals and minimal calories. Eating it raw makes for a sweet and crunchy salad base. If you don't like the taste of raw, sauté it with a bit of garlic for a healthy side dish. Raw spinach contains about 14 percent of your daily folate needs per one-cup serving, while a cup of cooked spinach meets two-thirds of your requirement.
