      Oxalic acid isn't very healthy tho, its actually an anti-nutrient that requires a lot of work for your kidneys to filter out. I also heard it can worsen cramps if you already have them.
      Not sure how accurate any of my info is, so do your own research!

    • @morgan4574
      @morgan4574 ปีที่แล้ว

      ​@@Mattle_lutrathis is true, oxalic acid binds to calcium and therefore increases risk of kidney stones

    • @KatieCottingham
      @KatieCottingham ปีที่แล้ว +9

      ​@@Mattle_lutra🤦‍♀️ You omit absorbed part of the available information, which is ironic because that's what oxalates does to certain minerals. A very truncated summary of the following article says that it's in most vegetables and humans are able to produce it as well. 60%-80% of the population have a bacteria in the gut that prevent oxalates from causing trouble and limiting mineral absorption, and SOME people who are more prone to kidney stones might want to either choose an alternative (for which that provide a chart) or consume additional dairy as the calcium binds to oxalates decreasing problems in the kidneys. So, no, they're NOT a problem for the majority of humans globally. If you've been on antibiotics or have a weaken gut biome you *might* have issues if you eat a lot of high oxalate foods. Maybe. But there's not enough causative evidence to provide a likelihood or sure statement.

      Personally, I'm not giving up spinach as someone who struggles to keep their iron levels up, even when not anemic.

    • @BossOfAllTrades
      @BossOfAllTrades ปีที่แล้ว

      ​​​@@KatieCottinghamSpinach iron is not as bioavailable as heme, it's just a fact. Moreover, the majority of the population suffers from oxalate toxicity - a toxin that accumulates in the skin and bones, causing damage. I'm not suggesting we should entirely avoid eating plants, but there's no need to consume high oxalate-containing vegetables like spinach and many others. For instance, water spinach offers even more nutrients, including vitamin C, without the presence of oxalates. It can be conveniently grown in a pond or a small pot during summer and remains non-bitter unlike spinach when it flowers.
      Consider the fact rabbits have oxalate-digesting bacteria that are present in their cecum, rabbits have a large cecum/appendix unlike us and even in these cases, it's not recommended to feed them plants high in oxalates. Instead, we should consider calcium supplementation with eggshells and obtaining more iron from sources like liver and bone marrow - following the practices of our ancestors.
      Notably, if it was as nutritious as claimed, more animals would consume it. However, humans seem to be the primary consumers of this vegetable. Additionally, boiling it can eliminate up to 70% of oxalates, but this process also leaches out soluble minerals, vitamins, and possibly omega-3. This results in it offering little more than fiber and a small amount of minerals and vitamins, making it more practical to consume grass.
      Overall, most leafy greens are sought after for their flavor and cultural significance rather than being a source of nutrition.

    Just so everybody knows that the Omega threes and pinches of this plant is higher in Omega threes than 3 oz of salmon. You should never disturb the roots and let all of that grow constantly! On the best way to eat it is chop it up with lemon as kind of like tzatziki it's one of the best ways to get all of the omegas

      @SunflowerAspenPlays 4 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I know this comment is old and I'm sorry if this is a bother 10 months later (lol) but the best way is just good ole fashion research! There are websites and forums you can post images of plants to and get feedback on ID'ing them from hobbyists/experts. You can also look up native (and invasive) plants in your area and compare them to what you find, or search for generic descriptor words (Like "small round leaf brown stem plant growing in *insert living area here*"). Once you ID the plant its just a matter of finding out if its edible, what nutrients it gives, how to prepare it, etc. There are entire communities dedicated to spreading this knowledge, so its out there! Just be careful. While not as dangerous as something like mushrooms (PLEASE be careful foraging mushrooms), make sure you're certain a plant is safe before consuming it. Also try to harvest from areas you know are "clean" so to speak. The side of the road where they spray crop-unsafe pesticides probably isn't a good place to get a snack.

    I KNEW that succulent looking weed was important somehow! I always saw it growing with my tomatoes and let it grow until it flowered then put it in the mulch and it really made a difference, beneficial ground cover for the win!

    My mom is from El Salvador and she picks the purslane from our garden, to cook with scrambled eggs in the morning. With avocado? 😁 I will need to try this!

    We've always ate our "weeds" from the garden, because their quality nutrition has no compare. Yummy and so satisfying.
