Spinach stems and leaves are soft, smooth, tender, and delicious. They are rich in vitamin C, carotene, protein, as well as minerals such as iron, calcium, and phosphorus. They have the effects of clearing the intestine and preventing and treating hemorrhoids. Spinach contains a large amount of crude plant fiber, which has the effect of promoting intestinal peristalsis, facilitating defecation, promoting human metabolism, and anti-aging effects. It is a good choice for computer workers and weight loss.
Because spinach has a high content of oxalic acid, consumption affects the body's absorption of calcium. Therefore, blanching spinach with water first can reduce the oxalic acid in spinach. If you choose to cook it with preserved eggs, it will taste more delicious.

1. Preserved eggs are easier to cut after steaming, but if not steamed, they are easier to cut with cotton thread. 2. Blanch the spinach well, but don't cook it too long, otherwise it will taste bad. 3. If you don't have chicken soup, you can replace it with plain boiled water. It doesn't taste as good as chicken soup, but it's also delicious.
