Every food has its dietary taboos; if some of these taboos are not understood, it can lead to serious consequences. To increase everyone's understanding of diet, the editor today will answer the question of whether shrimp and spinach can be eaten together.
Spinach contains a relatively high amount of oxalic acid, and shrimp is rich in calcium. When eaten together, they can easily form calcium oxalate precipitate, which is not conducive to the human body's absorption of calcium, so they cannot be eaten together.
Although spinach contains oxalic acid, which can easily form insoluble calcium oxalate with the calcium in shrimp, as long as the spinach is blanched or cooked to break down the oxalic acid in the spinach, they can be eaten together. So, if you really like eating spinach and shrimp together, you can.
