Spinach has a very high nutritional value, but it can't be eaten together with many things, so what can't be eaten together? Here's a summary of some foods that can't be eaten with spinach. Let's have a look.
What can't spinach be eaten with?
1. Spinach and tofu can't be eaten together
When eating spinach and tofu, some people think that they are the most ideal vegetarian. But it's a mistake. Because spinach contains chlorophyll, iron, and a lot of oxalic acid. Tofu mainly contains protein, fat and calcium. Both of them will waste valuable calcium. Because oxalic acid can react with calcium to form insoluble precipitate, which can not be absorbed by human body. Therefore, in order to maintain nutrition, one is to divide spinach and tofu into meals, so that there will be no chemical reaction. Second, you can blanch spinach in the water, let some oxalic acid dissolve in the water, and then boil it with tofu.
2. Spinach and eel can't be eaten together
Eel's food is sweet and warm, which can nourish and replenish qi, except for the cold air in the abdomen. And spinach is sweet, cold and smooth, and dry. According to the compendium of Materia Medica, spinach can "pass the stomach heat". It can be seen that the sexual and taste functions of the two food properties are not coordinated. Moreover, eels are fried in fat and spinach is cold and slippery. Eating them together is also easy to cause diarrhea, so they should not be eaten together.
3. Spinach and pork liver can't be eaten together
Spinach should not be fried with pork liver. Pig liver is rich in copper, iron and other metal elements. 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 rich in iron, which is not suitable for eating with amaranth and spinach containing more oxalic acid. Because cellulose and oxalic acid will affect the absorption of iron in the above food.
4. Spinach and cucumber can't be eaten together
Cucumber contains vitamin C decomposing enzyme, while spinach is rich in vitamin C, so they should not be eaten together. The vitamin C in spinach is destroyed by the catabolic enzyme in cucumber.
5. Spinach and soybeans
Some netizens said that spinach and soybeans can be eaten together, but vitamin C in the food can inhibit the release of copper, which is not conducive to the development of nutrition, so it is suggested that spinach and soybeans should not be eaten together.
6. Spinach and leek can't be eaten together
Some friends like to eat spinach and leek. When making dumplings, they like to mix spinach with leek to make stuffing. In fact, eating spinach like this will cause diarrhea.
7. Spinach can't be eaten with milk
Spinach and other fruits and vegetables containing more oxalic acid will form insoluble precipitates with calcium, which will affect the absorption of calcium in milk.
8. Spinach can't be eaten with cheese
Spinach is equal to cheese. The chemical composition of cheese will affect the absorption of rich calcium in spinach.
9. Spinach can't be eaten with honey
When spinach meets honey, it not only tastes strange, but also causes heartache!

2. No spinach for patients with urinary calculi
Patients with urinary calculi must stay away from spinach. This is because spinach contains more oxalic acid. It is easy to cause high oxaluria.
