Health benefits: May reduce risk of cancer, antioxidant protection, may protect against eye degeneration, lessens chance of spina bifida, helps avoid and relieve anaemia, and provides plenty of potassium. 

Cautions: People with, or who have had gout, or kidney or bladder stones,  should avoid spinach due to its high content of oxalates.

 Uses   
Bayam should be washed well and the leaves pulled off the stems before cooking. It can be steamed, simmered in soups, or cooked in coconut milk with root vegetables such as sweet potato or pumpkin. In western preparation, a few leaves of mint are added to the pan to improve the flavour.
