    Usually you can eat more spinach, because spinach is also one of the most nutritious green leafy vegetables, its carotene content is as high as 2920 micrograms/100 grams, vitamin C32 mg/100 grams, potassium 311 mg/100 grams. However, spinach contains more oxalic acid at 606 mg/100 g. Oxalic acid not only inhibits the absorption of minerals such as calcium and iron in the intestine, but also increases the risk of kidney stones after entering the bloodstream. So spinach should be boiled before cooking, oxalic acid is very water soluble, and boiled water can remove most of the oxalic acid.
