Nutritionist Sergei Oblozhko explains why you need to steam or soak spinach.
His recommendations are provided by the Roskachestvo portal.
How to eat spinach correctly
If you want to get maximum fiber, eat spinach fresh (in salads, smoothies, okroshka).
To get the most minerals, steam or soak spinach before eating.
The fact is that spinach contains phytic acid, which makes it difficult to absorb minerals.
Heat treatment (steaming, soaking) allows you to neutralize the effect of this substance.
