Can spinach be fried directly?

Spinach is a very nutritious vegetable and has a very crispy texture. Before eating, you can stir-fry it directly without boiling it in water, because after boiling, the spinach leaves will become soft and lose their crisp taste, and some nutrients will be lost along with the boiling water, so there is no need to blanch them in water. Before eating spinach, be sure to wash it thoroughly to remove the pesticides and dust on it to make it green and healthy.
