‘Dinosaur time’ is the viral new way to eat your greens

Struggling to get enough spinach in your diet? Rather than rustling up a salad or green smoothie, one TikToker has a rather unusual hack to ensure she hits her daily greens goal. 

“I call it dinosaur time,” TikTok user @sahmthingsup said in a video posted last month, wherein she stands over the sink and stuffs handfuls of raw spinach into her mouth.

I’ve been going strong on dinosaur time for about a week now as a supplement to my normal lunches and I feel pretty good. So maybe try it out #greens #healthy #healthyliving #healthyrecipes #healthylifestyle #fyp #dinosaur #dinosaurtime #Fitness #fitnesstips #nutrition #nutritiontips #macros

While it may not be the most appetizing way to consume the leafy greens, the food “hack” has already racked up more than one million views. “For added enrichment, put on a dinosaur documentary,” one user commented. Another added: “My life changed when I realized I could do this with any food I should be getting more of.”

In an interview with the New York Post, @sahmthingsup explained that she started eating raw greens as a way of managing her macronutrient-rich diet. Assembling salads every day was time-consuming; when she saw a Facebook post that suggested eating handfuls of spinach over the sink, it was a lightbulb moment.

“I thought it was genius, so I decided to do the same and it worked beautifully,” she told the Post. Since it reminded her of a Brachiosaurus eating leaves from the tree in the film Jurassic Park, she decided to call it dinosaur time. And thus a trend was born.

Packed with essential vitamins and minerals while being low in calories, spinach is a superfood when it comes to overall health. Rich in vitamin A, C, and K1, as well as iron, calcium, and folate, getting enough spinach in your diet supports immune function, bone health, and red blood cell production. 

While rawdogging handfuls of spinach may not be everyone’s idea of a fun snack, @sahmthingsup confessed that during dinosaur time, she channels Spike after he hatches out of his egg in the film The Land Before Time

The video somehow found its way onto the radar of Stu Krieger, writer of the 1998 film. He gave the hack his stamp of approval, commenting, “This might be the best channeling of Spike I’ve ever seen.”
