Spinach - Greens
Spinach - Greens
Whole, unwashed spinach leaves will keep 5 to 10 days when stored in a sealed bag between layers of paper towels. The leaves can also be blanched or wilted and frozen for six months. 5oz bags.
Green spinach generally has a mild, earthy, vegetal, and nutty flavour. We have found that spinach is amazing raw or cooked! Our biggest piece of advice is to avoid over cooking this leafy green. Try it tossed into salads, layered into wraps, sandwiches, pizzas, and burgers or blended into smoothies and juiced. Tastes wonderfully steamed or sautéed as a simple side dish, cooked into egg-based dishes including omelettes, quiche, and frittatas. It can also be simmered into soups, curries, stews and stir-fries. It can also be baked into muffins, bread, and pastries such as the Greek spanakopita, stuffed into meats with cheese & herbs, stirred into pasta dishes or cooked in lasagna. Would make a great base for homemade pesto.
