I love the way she speaks, so nice and informational

[@aqplaysgames]

This info is true. But all green vegetables should be cooked to break their cell wall to make the absorption easier.

[@goto8438]

Exactly right! A lot of people make smoothies etc... with high oxalate vegetables and greens bevause it seems healthy. They then get sore joints etc... without realising they are sensitive to oxalates.

[@novelist99]

Or kidney stones.

[@traceryibo853]

😮

[@amyx3843]

Add some lemons juice too to help the absorption of iron from the spinach

[@mrsmcdonald9363]

Lemon juice is so good on cooked spinach!

[@nevermindmeijustinjectedaw9988]

does vinegar work? i'm poor and suffer from grave mouth

[@CeeSparks]

Lemon juice keeps u from absorbing too msny oxalates. Cheese with it helps too, or other form of calcium

[@nevermindmeijustinjectedaw9988]

@@CeeSparks ah, cheese is very tasty with spinach and the local cheapo brand melts well. thanks for the hint

Glad to see someone else point this out! Raw spinach can also negatively affect your thyroid.

[@annwalsh5065]

I never knew this: I'm hypothyroid and will begin
steaming spinach.
Thank you so much for the
important info!

[@annalevenson7234]

I also have hypothyroidism . This is very interesting. My mom always cooked spinach for us. I will start as well.

[@YouKnowMeDuh]

There's a reason our ancestors cooked a lot of their food. You hit the nail on the head.

[@WantonSoup192]

Raw spinach makes my teeth feel fuzzy. I prefer cooked.

[@Diamond-rl2on]

Me too

[@fujimotosan9123]

You are lucky you have denture. Even cooked spinach is full up with oxalic acid, making Ca-Oxalate from Ca, reducing bone density

[@normalizedaudio2481]

Popeye eats it right from the can.

[@EzraM5]

This is true... Canned Spinach already has been cooked!

😂😂😂 I’m following Popeye she’s wrong😅

[@critter4004]

​@aletinaasmr6940 then you'd actually be following HER..LOL... because canned spinach is cooked 😂

[@cl5080]

Thank God! I never did like raw spinach much so now I have an excuse to cook it first!

[@toneg3768]

Cooking it also reduces the chance of getting kidney stones. If you eat it raw, you gotta eat it with calcium so the acid combines with the calcium in the gut and not crystallized in the kidneys causing stones.

[@fdagpigj]

I knew about needing to eat calcium with rhubarb soup (although the explanation I've heard is that otherwise it'll extract calcium from your teeth and bones), but I didn't know spinach had this same acid. Probably no one eats it in such large quantities normally.

[@South3West77]

​@@fdagpigjunfortunately I have been eating a lot of it raw.

[@toneg3768]

@@South3West77 be careful, could get kidney stones. I make a spinach and avocado smoothie, I add yogurt and coconut milk to offset the acid. Cheese works good too

[@South3West77]

@@toneg3768 yep I gotta stop it, I really like salad though, I appreciate the advice. Blessings

[@iNVERTASES]

@@toneg3768 all those ingredients are not acidic, and are actually the opposite. which makes it pretty bad to avoid kidney stone

Love your vids. Your combination of science and art with a fun delivery is entertaining and educational. Doesn’t hurt that you have a great smile, either! Thank you.

[@PhoenixSpirit1009]

This is a FANTASTIC video, thank you!!

[@greenirez2798]

I love spinach and use fresh spinach over lettuce for a lot of stuff (mostly sandwiches 😅) but I never knew this. I don’t like cooked spinach as much, but I suppose I’ll have to change my spinach eating habits from now on.

[@ttteao]

Agreed, fresh spinach is delish.

[@ap3008]

I also prefer fresh spinach. I don’t really like it cooked…

[@delmicortave]

I am the contrary of you, I don't like it raw 😅

[@maiwritesmovies0560]

There's a lot of nutritional misinformation, you can eat spinach raw, read more than one article and don't blindly follow. I usually don't eat lettuce, when I do eat a black bean salad, I use spinach leaves.

[@richlaue]

I'll sometimes blanch spinich by steaming

[@rehanrassi9410]

Wow I never knew this

[@DrDespicable]

This is going to have a negative impact on my salad construction...

[@Orycal29]

the spring mix is our go to by and large. Will keep using the spinach in our scrambled eggs. Still have a hard time with kale however.

[@it-s-a-mystery]

I know right. Literally just made a spinach feta salad the other day. I won't quickly forgive souped up for this.

[@DrDespicable]

@@Orycal29 Oh - kale can f*ck ALL the way off.

[@heikesiegl2640]

​@@it-s-a-mystery don't sorry.. If you have a mixed diet it isn't that bad for you. People think you need to eat lots and lots of nutrients every day but thats not true.
You have reserves and most of the stuff you do not need leaves your body anyway

[@maiwritesmovies0560]

You can eat spinach raw... just different vitamins, this video is kinda misleading.
Raw, more available to our bodies when we consume them raw. These nutrients include folate, vitamin C, niacin, riboflavin, and potassium.
Cooked, heated, you will absorb higher levels of vitamins A and E, protein, fiber, zinc, thiamin, calcium, and iron.

[@bubbydoo9519]

Thanks, Mandy.

[@luruperchausse10]

Always enjoyed fresh spinach salads from time to time and never had any problems with it. Can't say the same for broccoli or cauliflower.
Enjoy your videos! Your presentations are always informative!

[@Acatzutarotdrsweetjoysd]

Thank you 🙏🤗

[@darrelllowe6660]

I just had to say this but your English is so good I always love hearing people from different countries speaking English! Especially if they are doing it really well! 😊

[@nattkhan]

I know you probably mean well but this can come across as a bit condescending/patronizing to people whose first language isn't English. English is my third language but I speak with a clear American accent so you wouldn't have said this to me. No hate, just informing you

[@Ryan-qq9qe]

⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠​⁠@@nattkhanMan, stop it. You’re turning a positive comment into a negative one. Learning a new language is a challenge, so it’s completely fine to commend someone for doing well. You probably think you speak with a clear American accent, because it sounds normal to you. But 9 times out of 10, we can tell when someone isn’t a native speaker (which is fine). As long as you’re communicating in a way that’s clear enough to be understood, that’s good. Your accent doesn’t really matter.

[@anthonydauphin1878]

Thank you for this information/

[@leilanath4807]

I have learnt a lot on spinach today from Mandy n others. Thank u.

[@PacManDreaming]

I prefer cooked spinach just because raw spinach squeaks, like Styrofoam, on my teeth when I try to eat it.

[@kimberc813]

It's that oxalic acid that makes it so that. It's one way to tell if foraged greens are high in oxalic acid.

[@hahuynh2173]

[@lionessprincess9073]

Steamed spinach with a bit of soy sauce, a bit of sesame oil, and salt + pepper if you like is yummy with rice.😊

[@sarahnatalia7514]

Thanks for sharing. Can you please state the studies you are referring to? My immunologist states otherwise. Raw leafy greens, spinach, kale rocket, silverbeet are better eaten raw. And with raw you don't muck around, go organic.
But to add, people have different sensitivities. So you may be right to an extent. Some pay respond poorly to raw. But in my case organic raw leafy greens reduced my symptoms drastically and got me off meds for ms and lupus.

[@lupinchenbrause9017]

In germany this the other way around, i didnt knew for a long time that you could eat it raw XD we coock a lot of leavy vegtebables, like green and white cabbage, chard, also sauerkraut which is fermented (a bit like kimchi but not spicey)

Are u in malysia or china? Im in malaysia

[@AleAlejandro666]

Makes you wonder why not just eat a food that has said nutrients without the aforementioned anti-nutrients to begin with

[@fishrmanjohn]

In the same vein, let garlic sit for 10 minutes to allow the alcinin to oxidize ....it is much more potent!

[@CeeSparks]

Actually you lose much nutrients cooked. Thats b.s. to inhibit absorotion if oxalates in raw spinach, that ribs u if calcium...eat calcium or a calcium supplement with spinach. Raw spinach is the best way to go. I do Sautee with eggs iccassionally, yet raw still wins in health

[@PaulbylPaulbyl]

When you eat a salad with lots of spinach then keep in mind you should also be drinking a glass of water with some lemon juice.

But what about Popeye the sailor??

[@magnetohex703]

I find eating spinach Raw not really that good either. Not all raw vegetables are great to eat raw because some of the leafy greens?. They're strong in nature especially kale greens and spinach they're very tough to bite down and chew on. I always say if you can bite down on a delicious leafy greens and it breaks down easy and your mouth and breaks easily in your hand I would find that edible without cooking. But something about spinach and kale greens that is just tough to break down and chew on. But when you do cook it it becomes way softer much more edible to eat and I always drink the liquid water left behind it that's where the real magic is.
I tried eating spinach raw even kale green and I found a leafy greens to be very strange to chew down on. It's nowhere near like lettuce like iceberg lettuce even romaine lettuce is more of a crisp crunch and easy to swallow when you when you eat it. It's not like a tough Leaf I stay away from or I should say I stay away from eating any Raw vegetables that have a very tough eating material. If it's not easy with the nice crunchy breakdown it doesn't break easy in your hand?. I would recommend that you cook it because most likely it's that way for a reason and the nutrient levels could be toxic when known as toxins to the human body.
Yes plants have a way of Defending itself against anything that tries to eat it it will develop a toxins that too much of it can be harmful for you. Animals have a different way of eating their body stomach and other organs are completely different than humans we're more delicate we are definitely different than the entire planet of species when it comes to eating Foods. We don't or should not eat everything raw just because an animal does it mean you should because most likely our cellular levels are completely different that's what allows animals to eat things Raw. If they couldn't they would probably be knocking at your door asking if they can use the kitchen. Which I wouldn't mind then I posted on TH-cam every day I would have a different animal coming into the kitchen and preparing something to eat that would be a sight to see. LOL 😂

[@SidduAnimations]

Eyy we should have to eat it RAW!

[@OsirusHandle]

Wow interesting, didnt know cooking removes the oxalic ackd
