Yes, eggplant and spinach are not the same, but the food similar to spinach is as follows:

1. Spinach+tofu. Tofu contains magnesium chloride and calcium sulfate, while spinach contains oxalic acid. When the two foods meet together, they can produce magnesium oxalate and calcium oxalate. These two kinds of white sediments not only affect the absorption of calcium by human body, but also easily lead to lithiasis.

2. Spinach+cucumber. Cucumber contains vitamin C-decomposing enzymes, while spinach is rich in vitamin C, so they should not be eaten together. Vitamin C in spinach will be destroyed by decomposing enzymes in cucumber.

3. Spinach+pork liver. Spinach should not be fried with pork liver. Pig liver is rich in metal elements such as copper and iron. Once it is combined with spinach with high vitamin C, metal ions can easily oxidize vitamin C and lose its nutritional value. Animal liver, egg yolk and soybean are all rich in iron, so it is not suitable to eat with amaranth and spinach containing more oxalic acid. Because both cellulose and oxalic acid will affect the absorption of iron in the above foods.

4. Spinach+milk. Spinach and other fruits and vegetables containing more oxalic acid will combine with calcium to form insoluble precipitate, which will affect the absorption of calcium in milk.

5. Spinach and cheese. Spinach and cheese are alike. The chemical components contained in cheese will affect the absorption of rich calcium in spinach.

6. Spinach+eel. Spinach and eel are alike, and eating together can easily lead to diarrhea. Eel is sweet and warm, and has the effects of invigorating qi and nourishing blood, invigorating spleen and kidney, invigorating qi and solidifying membrane, removing blood stasis and eliminating dampness; Spinach, on the other hand, is sweet, cold and slippery, and it moistens dryness under the breath. "Compendium of Materia Medica" says, "It can warm the stomach." Obviously, the nature, taste and function of the two are not in harmony. And eel is greasy and fatty, spinach is cold and slippery, and eating together is easy to cause diarrhea.

Taboos for eating eggplant

1. Eggplant should be eaten in both vegetarian and vegetarian ways. It can be fried, roasted, steamed, boiled, fried, cold and made into soup. It is best not to peel eggplant, because eggplant skin contains vitamin B, which is a good partner with vitamin C. Vitamin B is needed in the metabolism of vitamin C. Eating eggplant with skin helps to promote the absorption of vitamin C. Eggplant should not be eaten raw to avoid poisoning.

2. Although there are many ways to eat eggplant, most of them are cooked at high temperature and for a long time, which is not only greasy, but also has a great loss of nutrition. The vitamin loss of fried eggplant can reach more than 5%. Of all the ways to eat eggplant, mashed tomato is the healthiest.

3. Eggplant and crab meat are both cold foods. Eating them together will often make the stomach feel uncomfortable, and in severe cases, it will lead to diarrhea, especially for people with spleen and stomach deficiency.

4. Eating eggplant raw is toxic. Raw eggplant contains a kind of toxin called solanine (also known as solanine), and solanine is more toxic in germinated potatoes! Solanum nigrum exists not only in potato buds, but also in raw eggplant. You see, even the name is "solanine".
