Nutrients of spinach

thermostat

Spinach contains vitamin A, vitamin B, vitamin C, vitamin D, carotene, protein, iron, phosphorus, oxalic acid and so on. Vitamin B2 can help the body absorb other vitamins, and adequate vitamin A can prevent colds.
Contains niacin, so the taste is slightly astringent.
Contains a large amount of plant crude fiber, which can promote intestinal peristalsis and facilitate defecation.
Although spinach is a vegetable with more iron, it is not much different from other vegetables. However, spinach contains substances that inhibit iron absorption, including high concentrations of oxalic acid, which will combine with iron to form ferrous oxalate, making the iron in spinach difficult to be absorbed by the body. In addition, the high content of oxalic acid removes iron from the body and inhibits the absorption and utilization of iron. Therefore, the absorption rate of iron in spinach is only 1%.
