How to remove the astringency of spinach?
1, spinach can be boiled with a little sugar. After adding sugar, the astringency of spinach can be removed and the color of spinach can be better.
You can also scald spinach in boiling water for two minutes before cooking. After being scalded by boiling water, the oxalic acid in spinach will be eliminated, so that when we fry spinach, it will not be astringent.
3, you can put oil in the pot first, stir-fry the spinach quickly with a big fire, and then quickly remove the spinach after it is cooked. After that, the spinach will not be astringent.
Can I eat more spinach?
Although the content of iron in spinach is high, it is difficult for human body to absorb and utilize it. Because spinach contains a lot of oxalic acid, it meets calcium in the gastrointestinal tract after entering the human body, and it is easy to solidify into calcium oxalate which is not easy to dissolve and absorb, so eating spinach often leads to calcium deficiency, leading to rickets and hand and foot convulsions. If the baby has calcium deficiency symptoms, eating spinach will make the condition worse. Spinach is an alkaline food. Children often eat it and have diarrhea. Although the oxalic acid in spinach can be removed by blanching, the vitamins in it are also destroyed after blanching.

Matters needing attention in eating spinach
1, avoid eating spinach that has not been scalded with boiling water.
Blanch spinach with boiling water before frying, which can remove oxalic acid and astringency contained in spinach. Only by removing oxalic acid can the body absorb calcium from spinach. If you don't cook with boiling water, it will not only affect the taste, but also reduce the nutritional value.
2, eat spinach to avoid roots.
When people choose spinach, they often habitually only eat its stems and leaves, mistakenly thinking that the roots are old and tough, and it is wrong to pick them.
Spinach has red roots and green stems and leaves, so it has long been known as "Ying Ge with red mouth and green". We emphasize that spinach should not be rooted in spring, not simply because of its beautiful color. Spinach root belongs to the category of red food and has a good therapeutic effect. It would be a shame to throw it away.
Spinach root is nutritious, containing cellulose, vitamins and minerals, but no fat. Especially eating spinach root with ginger can control or prevent the occurrence of diabetes. The best way to eat spinach is to boil fresh spinach with roots in boiling water for a few minutes and mix with sesame oil, which can benefit the stomach and is suitable for treating hypertension and constipation.
3. Pregnant women should avoid eating spinach often.
It has always been thought that spinach contains a lot of iron and has the effect of enriching blood. Spinach is considered as an ideal blood-enriching food for pregnant women, children and patients.
In fact, the content of iron in spinach is not much, and the main component is oxalic acid, which has a devastating effect on zinc and calcium.
Zinc and calcium are indispensable trace elements for human body. If the human body is short of zinc, it will feel loss of appetite and decreased taste. Once a child lacks calcium, rickets may occur, or chicken breasts, bowlegs, and tooth growth retardation may occur. If pregnant women eat too much spinach, they will also have symptoms of calcium deficiency and zinc deficiency, which is undoubtedly unfavorable to fetal development. At the same time, because pregnant women need more calcium and zinc than normal people, they should eat more foods rich in calcium and zinc from the perspective of conservation.
Children should avoid eating more spinach.
In real life, some parents think that new leafy vegetables contain a lot of protein, fat and various trace elements. Therefore, as long as children eat more vegetables, it is a good diet structure. In fact, this kind of understanding and practice is completely wrong.
From the point of view of nutrition and dietotherapy, eating too many vegetables is harmful to children's health. For example, spinach, a seasonal vegetable in spring, contains a lot of oxalic acid. If children eat too much, various trace elements in the body interact with oxalic acid, especially calcium, which will change children's bones and lead to rickets and rickets.
