Spinach: Cooked or raw? Whats best?

wrote:

OK

I finally got around to sauteing some raw spinach.

I sued light olive oil

And then put some seasoning on it

It was GOOd that way!

Thanks so much for a new way to eat spinach guys!

I've always eaten it raw in salads but I tried the saute and it was
great! I'll still have my salads, but now I have another way to enjoy
spinach. Thanks

You don't even need a lot of cream cheese really, if you smush it
in really well.

Sounds great!

Ill try it!

Yep... same here

I always ate spinach raw as a spinach salad.

And I never really did like cooked canned spinach

But by sauteing slightly in a skillet and adding some
condiments it adds a whole new dimension to spinach

Usually, vegetables lose a lot of nutrients when cooked.

You're right, Carol...the only exception I've heard to this is with
tomatoes. Cooking tomatoes boosts the nutritional value. Makes the
cancer-fighting lycopene easier to absorb by the body.

Amazing! Great news for people like me who love tomatoe sauces and
soups but hate raw tomatoes!
