There is no guarantee, toss it for now, Picard. IMO, someone trying to rinse E. Coli out of raw spinach and then eat it without cooking it should be considered as having a death-wish.

Spinach contains water-soluble vitamins like other vegetables and like fruits and grains do. Therefore by boiling it, you lose alot of the vitamin content.

I suggest you go back and read real closely what has been posted on this thread again. <img src="/images/graemlins/shocked.gif" alt="" />
