The Right Way to Cook
Spinach;
I have Tips or how to
cook spinach properly so as not to lose the Nutrition & Vitamins.
At first glance it is
easy to cook spinach, but not as simple as we imagine. Cooking spinach for too
long can cause good nutrients in it to be damaged or even lost.
Well, is it true that
the vegetables we cook for the family are no longer nutritious?
For this blog, I want
to share my experience on how to cook spinach properly.
Alright please refer
to this note next:
1. When buying
spinach, choose fresh spinach.
2. Make sure to wash
the spinach as clean as possible before cooking.
3. Cook spinach not
too long, just one minute.
4. So, before the
spinach enters, let the water boil then add the marinade, then the spinach.
5. Boiling spinach for
more than 4 minutes will actually make spinach lose half of its folic acid.
6. Never spinach
reheat vegetables, because the nutritional content of spinach will be
increasingly damaged (not cause toxins as long as people think).
Thus my article this
time is hopefully useful, sorry if there are deficiencies. To complete, please
find a more complete reference from several sources. Greetings and happiness.
