Cooking Tips:

When you are cooking spinach, you should make sure that it is cooked together with alkaline foods such as kelp, mushrooms and fruits. This way, the calcium oxalate contained in spinach can be solved and discharged. Thus, stones can be prevented from forming.

Spinach is good for diabetics and those working in front of the computer monitors all day long.

However, babies and patients who suffer from lack of calcium, rickets, tuberculosis, kidney stones, diarrhea, etc. should stay away from spinach.
