Note: Spinach is an excellent source of vitamin A. Spinach is a poor source of calcium. Spinach contains a fair amount of oxalic acid, which binds calcium. A recent test in human beings compared the calcium absorbed from milk with that absorbed from spinach. Almost 30 percent of the calcium in milk was absorbed. Only 5 percent of the calcium in spinach was absorbed. Kale, mustard greens, and turnip greens contain much less oxalic acid than spinach. They are good sources of calcium and vitamin A.
