Is Sauteed Spinach Healthy?

Raw spinach contains oxalic acid. This affects the absorption of calcium and iron. Longer consumption of oxalic acid may result in vitamin deficiency. At the same time when oxalic acid is heated, it breaks down. So there is no loss of nutrients in cooked spinach i.e. steamed or sauteed spinach.

Which is better- Raw Spinach or Cooked Spinach?

Both raw spinach and cooked spinach gives equal micronutrients. However, because of high oxalic acid, raw spinach may create calcium, iron and other vitamin deficiency if it’s taken regularly. But at the same time, this is a rich source of other essential nutrients like folate, vitamin C, potassium, niacin, riboflavin, etc.

At the same time, cooked spinach provides protein, fiber, vitamin A, vitamin E, zinc, thiamin, calcium, carotenoids, etc. And these are absorbed better when spinach is cooked and oxalate is broken down. So I will conclude that cooked, steamed, sauteed spinach is healthy food and you must include this at least 3 times in your diet every week.

You may add raw spinach to your salads or smoothies, but at the same time, you need more of cooked spinach. So this sauteed spinach is the quick solution.
