I often like to eat green vegetables raw. Will oxalic acid in raw vegetables affect the nutrition in vegetables?

    Oxalic acid hides in astringent vegetables such as spinach, amaranth, wild rice, etc. Excessive intake of oxalic acid will affect the body's absorption of calcium, zinc and other minerals, and will increase the risk of stones. Studies have shown that spinach, amaranth, and other vegetables can be removed by boiling water for only a moment to remove 40%~70%oxalic acid. The method is to boil the water, quickly put in the vegetables, and just pick up in about 20 seconds.
