National Spinach day is July 26th. A lot of people don’t like fresh spinach because of the chalky feeling on their teeth. It’s caused by the oxalate crystals they release and then bind to the calcium in your teeth. I find if you chop baby spinach, you don’t chew it as much and dramatically reduce the metallic/gritty feeling.
