Grandma: Michael, eat your spinach! Popeye eats spinach! Michael: Popeye also has tattoos, gets in fights, smokes and eats food right out of the can. Grandma: I enjoy having smart kids - most of the time.

I love spinach (fresh), but I’m concerned that it contains so many oxalates (which block absorption of calcium), and I have a high-oxalate diet as it is. =/ Lately, I’ve been replacing it with lettuce, kale, turnip greens, etc.

Cooking it is the problem. It is great in salads. Would you cook lettuce? Then why do it to spinach?

Spinach salad?? Ugh!

Along with lettuce (several varieties), radish, onion, cucumber, etc. Crunchies, dressing of choice, crouton, and such. Not alone.
