I remember when I had iron deficiency during pregnancy and I was given lots of iron tablets of which in pregnancy it was really difficult for me to swallow any medication, my midwife asked me to take lots of spinach. Oh yeah, I bought lots and lots of spinach, it was pleasant for me to chew them raw that was when I fell for them. There is actually nothing I eat without adding spinach.
