Is eating raw spinach good for you?
« on: January 10, 2023, 06:59:59 PM »
As we all know, spinach is one of the vegetables with the highest oxalate content, and its oxalic acid content is as high as 0.97%.

When oxalic acid enters the body, it combines with calcium. Not only hinders calcium absorption, but also forms calcium oxalate.

The solubility of calcium oxalate is very low, which can easily cause kidney stones and urinary tract stones.

Therefore, although spinach can be eaten raw, it is best to eat cooked spinach.

Many nutritionists believe that steaming and boiling is an effective cooking method that can reduce the oxalic acid in spinach by 80% to 90%.
