The principle of spinach enriching blood is related to its rich carotenoids and ascorbic acid, which are important for health and enriching blood.
Taboo: Spinach can't be eaten with cucumber: cucumber contains enzymes that break down vitamin C, while spinach is rich in vitamin C, so it is not suitable for both.
Spinach should not be eaten with foods with high calcium content such as milk.
Spinach can't be eaten with tofu: because spinach contains a lot of oxalic acid, and tofu contains calcium ions. Once the calcium in spinach and tofu is combined, it will cause stones and affect the absorption of calcium.
Spinach is not suitable for frying pork liver: pork liver is rich in metal elements such as copper and iron. Once combined with spinach with high vitamin C content, 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 spinach containing more oxalic acid. Because both cellulose and oxalic acid will affect the absorption of iron in the above foods.
Spinach can't be eaten with soybeans. If eaten with soybeans, it will inhibit the release of copper and lead to poor copper metabolism.
Spinach should not be eaten with calcium tablets. Spinach is rich in oxalic acid, which is easy to form calcium oxalate precipitation after combining with calcium in the intestine, which not only hinders the absorption of calcium by human body, but also easily forms stones.
