Tips:Mo Ji a few words:
Spinach is rich in nutrients, contains more protein, and is also rich in calcium, iron, vitamin E and niacin. Spinach has a certain blood-replenishing effect, and the enzymes contained in spinach can promote the secretory function of the stomach and pancreas.
Spinach also has disadvantages. Because it contains more oxalic acid, it tastes a little astringent. Oxalic acid easily combines with calcium in food to form insoluble calcium oxalate, which hinders the body's absorption of calcium. Eating foods high in oxalic acid for a long time is also prone to kidney stones. Therefore, it is best to blanch spinach with water before eating. After blanching, 80% of the oxalic acid in spinach can be removed. But the blanching time should not be too long, otherwise it will reduce the vitamin content in spinach. After blanching, spinach not only loses little nutrients, but also tastes better.
Infants, pulmonary tuberculosis, rickets, in order not to affect calcium absorption, it is best to eat less or not spinach. Spinach has a certain effect of smoothing the intestines, and it is best not to eat it for patients with diarrhea.
If you don’t like to eat spinach, you can use cabbage, rape, etc. instead.
