Cucumber peel is rich in nutrients and should be eaten raw. However, in order to prevent pesticide residues from harming the human body, cucumbers should be soaked in salt water for 15-20 minutes before being washed and eaten raw. When soaking cucumbers in salt water, do not pinch off the heads and remove the roots. Keep the cucumbers intact to prevent nutrients from being lost from the cut surfaces during the soaking process.

Remove the old leaves from spinach and wash them clean. When buying spinach, try to choose one with leaves that are very dark green and the roots of spinach are red.

Spinach contains oxalic acid. When spinach is boiled, it does not decompose the oxalic acid, but dissolves and dilutes it. Then pour away the water used to blanch the spinach, and the oxalic acid content of the spinach will be greatly reduced. Therefore, when making spinach dishes, it is best to blanch it in water first, which can not only remove the astringent taste, but also greatly reduce the bad effects of oxalic acid, and the nutritional content of spinach will not be lost too much. Only by removing oxalic acid can the body absorb the calcium in spinach.
