Nitrate-rich foods include lettuce, parsley and spinach. âLeafy vegetables contain chemical nitrate that improves heart health,â the Mail Online reports. In a recent study, researchers looked at the effects of a nitrate-rich diet on rats.
Almost all inorganic nitrate salts are soluble in water at standard temperature and pressure. A common example of an inorganic nitrate salt is potassium nitrate (saltpeter). A rich source of inorganic nitrate in the human body comes from diets rich in leafy green foods, such as spinach and arugula.It is now believed that dietary nitrate in the form of plant-based foods is converted in the body to nitrite.he anion is the conjugate base of nitric acid, consisting of one central nitrogen atom surrounded by three identically bonded oxygen atoms in a trigonal planar arrangement. The nitrate ion carries a formal charge of -1.
