What are nitrates?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Nitrates are nitrogen and oxygen - in foods such as processed meat and leafy veggies. The one's in the veggies are good for you- the ones in meat not so much.

In medical slang and when referring to drugs, nitrates are a group of drugs typically used to relieve angina or chest pain seen in coronary artery disease.
