About Chinese spinach
Chinese spinach, also known as amaranth greens, originates from Asia and is commonly used in Chinese and Southeast Asian cuisines. These vibrant leafy greens come in green and reddish varieties, offering a slightly earthy, nutty flavor that complements stir-fries, soups, and salads. Rich in vitamins A, C, and K, Chinese spinach supports immune health, vision, and bone strength. It’s also packed with iron, calcium, and potassium, making it a great choice for maintaining energy levels and heart health. High in antioxidants, it may help combat oxidative stress and inflammation. The greens are low in calories and contain dietary fiber, promoting digestive health. However, Chinese spinach does contain oxalates, which can impede calcium absorption and may not be suitable for individuals prone to kidney stones. Proper cooking can reduce oxalate levels, ensuring safe consumption while preserving its nutritional benefits.
