| Why do my teeth feel so gross after I eat cooked spinach? Like there is an odd film on them out something...gritty. anyone else? Is spinach bad for teeth enamel? |

| Maybe it wasn't rinsed well? Spinach does grow in sand... |

| I get the same thing. Even if it's washed very well. I have a very good salad spinner, and am careful about washing greens, yet spinach is the only one that does that to me. |

| I do wash it. I do, though, eat an entire Fresh Express bag (when it cooks down it is next to nothing) so I wonder if that is it, or that cooking it releases something that makes my teeth feel weird. |

| Spinach has oxalic acid. That may cause the weird sensation after eating it. |
