The mistake of crushing water spinach while washing it
So, is it good to crush water spinach while washing it?
Many people, especially women, have a habit of crushing water spinach while washing it to make it cleaner and softer for cooking. However, according to nutritionist Dr. Hoang Thi Thuy Ha from the Institute of Clinical Nutrition, this practice is not advisable. Crushing the vegetable leads to a loss of its valuable nutrients.
If you prefer softer water spinach after cooking, it is recommended to gently crush the vegetable after rinsing it, without washing or crushing it vigorously.
To retain its flavor and nutritional value, water spinach should be consumed immediately after cooking.
