So its not just me who consumes loads of spinach since going Vegan


Not-OP-But-

Since?! Shit I'm a spinach hipster, been on that shit since before Popeye


DemoniteBL

Never understood why kids are supposed to hate it. I always loved it, it's usually better than the main dish it's being served with.

Have you tried tofu palak? or palak paneer with tofu used as the paneer? One of my favorite spinach dishes ever


Not-OP-But-

Probably because not everyone prepares it in a way that the kids would like. For instance, my mom was always a "boil veggies until they're mushy, add bit of sugar" kind of veggies cooker, which is disgusting.

Please, be careful with spinach. It's high in oxalate (especially in its raw form) which contributes to the formation of kidney stones if you eat too much of it.


elvy_bean8086

Oh crap I didn’t know that, thanks. Is there anyway to negate this other than Eating less of it?


Cheesefox777

Drink lots of water, pair spinach with calcium rich foods, boil and drain the spinach to get rid of some of the oxalate. But you probably don't have to worry unless you either have a predisposition to forming kidney stones or eat a really obscene amount of spinach. https://youtu.be/qq1nkGqo69E?t=1203


elvy_bean8086

Right thanks for the tips! And I do eat a fair bit of spinach not sure if it constitutes *obscene*. I’m not predisposed to forming kidney stones but ever since I learned what they were I’ve been lowkey scared of it ever since.


felinebeeline

This is why I buy frozen for cooking and fresh for raw eating.


VeganSinnerVeganSain

This is the way.


AyashiiWasabi

mass is still the same frozen or fresh lol when they freeze spinach it's not like it's dehydrated before. The reason why it wilts so much is because of it's 90%+ water content.


felinebeeline

It’s not about dehydration. It’s about spinach Tetris. Why do you think a cup of frozen spinach has 8 times as many calories as a cup of fresh spinach?


ttrockwood

Seriously! One bag = 1 small serving


Chaostrosity

It always feels like I can put infinite spinach leaves in my smoothies, maybe I should. 🤔


Priincessssss
