Can calcium be supplemented by eating spinach?

I saw on the Internet that spinach contains a large amount of oxalic acid and can not be eaten with tofu, but spinach is highly nutritious. Can spinach supplement calcium?

    In normal life, spinach should not be eaten with tofu, because it contains a large amount of oxalic acid, which will combine with calcium to form an insoluble precipitate. Spinach also contains a lot of factors that promote calcium absorption, including rich potassium and magnesium, as well as vitamin K. Spinach is recognized as a treasure trove of vitamin K, and its content ranks first among various fresh foods. Vitamin K is not afraid of heat, and like carotene, it needs oil to help absorb it, so be sure to put some sesame oil when eating cold spinach.
