Is cooked spinach always the superior choice? Both fresh and cooked spinach contain about the same amount of macronutrients in a 100-gram serving (roughly 3 1/3 cups raw or 1/2 cup cooked spinach). Both servings are about 23 calories, 3.8 g of carbohydrates, 3 g of protein, 0.3 g of fat, and a whopping 2.4 g of fiber, which is 10 percent of the daily value.
A: A cup of cooked spinach provides about 150 mg of magnesium. Other minerals like calcium and iron are poorly absorbed from spinach, but magnesium is efficiently absorbed. An ounce of most nuts and seeds contributes 50 to 75 mg of magnesium, and cooked beans have 70 to 100 mg per cup. Cooked brown rice has about 80 mg per cup compared with refined white rice's 25 mg. Similarly, a slice of white bread has only about 7 mg compared with more than 20 in whole wheat bread. Milk products can be a significant source of magnesium with about 45 mg in a cup of yogurt and 25 mg in a cup of milk.
