In the recent tvN "Chef of the Tyrant," Yeon Ji-young (Im Yoon-ah) prepared food for the taste and health of Inju's Great Dae-bi (Seo Yi-sook) in a competition on the theme of Hyo (孝) who took the position of colonel.

In particular, he succeeded in recreating the refreshing and umami soybean paste soup that Inju the Great Daebi had been looking for in his life through soybean paste soup and rice with corvina and red geunchae (spinach). For side dishes, tofu and spinach vegetables were served. Here, not only did it resonate with the king's heart, but it also contained a wish for good health, which perfectly fits the theme of 'hyo'.

Lim Yoon-ah was worried about Daewang Daebi, who was wobbly and his hands trembled when writing down the stairs, saying, "Red root salad is good for bones and anemia, so it would be good to eat it often."

Spinach, introduced as red root on the air, is one of the world's top 10 superfoods selected by the World Health Organization (WHO). It is known to prevent cardiovascular disease as well as provide various health effects through abundant nutrients.

In fact, it is rich in nutrients that strengthen bones such as calcium, vitamin K, magnesium, zinc, copper, and phosphorus, helping to prevent osteoporosis. It contains about 66 mg of calcium per 100 g of spinach and 389.82 μg of vitamin K, which plays an important role in the absorption of calcium and bone formation and strengthening.

It is also rich in iron and folic acid, which is effective in preventing hematopoietic function and anemia. It contains 2.49mg of iron and 170μg of folic acid per 100g, which helps to produce red blood cells. Along with this, abundant vitamin C helps the absorption of iron.




However, spinach is known to have a risk of kidney stones when overdosed due to high levels of oxalic acid, but when boiled, oxalic acid dissolves in water and is reduced by more than half, so blanching it and eating it as herbs can reduce the intake of oxalic acid.
