Spinach

About Spinach

Spinach is the undisputed heavyweight champion of the leafy green world. Populated in pop culture by Popeye, this versatile plant genuinely lives up to the hype. It is incredibly dense with vital micronutrients, packing deep stores of iron, calcium, and skin-loving vitamins into remarkably low-calorie leaves. Mild enough to hide beautifully in a fruit smoothie but flavorful enough to anchor a gourmet salad, it's the ultimate base layer for a healthy diet.

How to choose

Look for crisp, bouncy, deep-green leaves without any signs of yellowing, bruising, or slime. If buying pre-washed plastic tubs, make sure there is no trapped moisture pooling at the bottom, which causes the leaves to spoil rapidly.

Storage

Spinach hates excess moisture. Store it in your fridge's crisper drawer wrapped loosely in a dry paper towel inside an airtight bag or container. The paper towel absorbs dampness, keeping your spinach fresh and crisp for up to 5 to 7 days.
