Spinach has a high nutritional value, can it be eaten raw or made into a vegetable salad?

    Spinach, bamboo shoots, wild rice and other vegetables containing more oxalic acid should be boiled with boiling water even if they are to be cold mixed to remove most of the oxalic acid contained in the vegetables. Oxalic acid will combine with calcium in the intestine to form calcium oxalate that is difficult to absorb, interfere with the body's absorption of calcium, resulting in calcium deficiency.
