About Spinach shoot

Spinach shoots, the tender young leaves and stems of the spinach plant, are a nutrient-dense leafy green prized for their delicate texture and mild, slightly sweet flavor. Originating from Middle Eastern and Mediterranean cuisines, spinach shoots have found a place in dishes worldwide, from stir-fries to salads and soups. Packed with vitamins A, C, and K, they also provide iron, calcium, and dietary fiber, supporting bone health, immunity, and digestion. Spinach shoots are low in calories but high in antioxidants like lutein and zeaxanthin, which promote eye health. However, they contain oxalates, which may interfere with calcium absorption and could be a concern for people prone to kidney stones. Lightly cooking spinach shoots reduces oxalates while preserving their nutritional benefits, making them a versatile and healthy addition to any meal.
