Spinach contains large amounts of beta carotene and iron, and is also an excellent source of vitamin B6, folic acid, iron and potassium. The abundant iron has an effect on iron deficiency anemia and can make people's complexion ruddy and shining, so it is praised as a good beauty product. Spinach leaves contain chromium and an insulin-like substance, which acts very similar to insulin and keeps blood sugar stable. The rich B vitamin content allows it to prevent the occurrence of vitamin deficiencies such as angular stomatitis and night blindness. Spinach contains a large amount of antioxidants such as vitamin E and selenium, which has anti-aging and cell proliferation effects. It can not only activate brain function, but also enhance youthful vitality, help prevent brain aging and prevent Alzheimer's disease.
Tofu is a tonic and heat-clearing food. Eating it often can nourish the middle and replenish qi, clear heat and moisten dryness, promote saliva, quench thirst, and clean the stomach. It is more suitable for people with heat constitution, bad breath, thirst, unclear stomach, and recuperation after fever. Modern medicine has confirmed that in addition to increasing nutrition, helping digestion, and enhancing appetite, tofu is also quite beneficial to the growth and development of teeth and bones. It can increase the iron content in the blood during the blood-forming function; tofu does not contain cholesterol and is a medicinal dish for patients with high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, hyperlipidemia, arteriosclerosis, and coronary heart disease. It is also a good food therapy for children, the sick and the elderly to supplement nutrition. Tofu is rich in phytoestrogen, which has a good effect on preventing and treating osteoporosis. It also has the function of inhibiting breast cancer, prostate cancer and blood cancer. The sterols and stigmasterol in tofu are both effective ingredients for inhibiting cancer.

Tofu can also be used for diet therapy and has certain medicinal value. For example, stewed tofu with green onions can treat the beginning of a cold and eat it 3 to 5 times a day; boiled crucian carp and tofu can treat measles and residual heat, and can also be used to lower milk; fried tofu with green onions can be used for edema expansion; tofu and radish soup can be used for phlegm, fire, and asthma; tofu and brown sugar can be used for vomiting blood, etc.
The amino acids in tofu and spinach cannot be eaten directly together, because this will cause people to develop gallstones. Studies have shown that if calcium is supplemented while vitamin K is added, the effect of calcium supplementation can be greatly improved and calcium deposition into bones can be promoted. Tofu rich in calcium and protein, coupled with spinach rich in potassium, magnesium and vitamin K, is a perfect match for calcium and bone strengthening.

So, what about oxalic acid in spinach? Since oxalic acid is very soluble in water, more than 80% of the oxalic acid can be removed by simply blanching the spinach in boiling water for 1 minute. First stir-fry tofu, then add blanched spinach, mix it together and eat it without any problem.

Fortunately, vitamin K is not afraid of heat and does not dissolve in water, so blanching spinach will not cause its loss. However, vitamin K, like carotene, requires oil to help absorb, so when making spinach and tofu soup, you must remember to add some oil.
