Spinach can normally be eaten with tofu, but care should be taken in the way it is cooked, as spinach contains oxalic acid and tofu contains calcium, and mixing them together may produce calcium oxalate, which may affect the body’s absorption of calcium and other nutrients.
Spinach also contains high levels of oxalic acid, and tofu is a high-protein food that is rich in calcium (164 mg of calcium per 100 g of tofu).
If spinach is not blanched and tofu directly eat is not conducive to the body’s absorption, and the oxalic acid inside the spinach and tofu in the protein, calcium will produce calcium oxalate, affecting the body’s absorption of calcium and other nutrients, long-term so that the formation of stones may be (although the probability of this is relatively small).
Spinach and tofu together, in the production process can be blanched spinach and tofu in turn, can effectively remove the oxalic acid in the spinach, but also increase the texture of the tofu, the two food nutrients are more easily absorbed by the organism.
Spinach and tofu choose the correct preparation method, can also increase the body’s nutrition. Tofu should not be consumed by those who are allergic to soybeans.
