It should be noted that spinach contains more oxalic acid, which hinders the body's absorption of calcium. Therefore, when eating spinach, you should first blanch it with boiling water and then fry it. Spinach should not be mixed with foods containing more calcium, such as tofu, such as spinach and tofu. Because oxalic acid reacts with calcium to produce calcium oxalate, calcium oxalate will affect people's renal function and form crystals to stay in the urinary tract, causing stones.
Spinach tofu soup is a traditional home-cooked dish, which is deeply loved by people for its light and refreshing taste. However, Zou Chunlei, an internationally registered dietitian, warned that tofu should not be eaten with spinach.

Soybean contains trypsin inhibitor and more phytic acid, which affects the absorption and utilization of nutrients. During the germination of soybean, most trypsin inhibitors were destroyed, and the protein contained in soybean was also decomposed into soluble peptides and amino acids, which not only increased the freshness of bean sprouts, but also increased the utilization rate of protein in bean sprouts by at least 10% compared with soybean.
Soybean sprouts also contain an interferon inducer, which can induce interferon and interfere with virus metabolism. People are more prone to viral colds and other miscellaneous diseases in spring.
