Blanching is an easy way to quickly cook green vegetables in order to preserve their flavors and nutrients. If you don’t blanch your spinach, the color can get dull and it can lose nutrients when you freeze it. Conveniently, you can blanch spinach on the stove top or in the microwave, then transfer it to a bowl of ice water. Once your spinach is blanched, use your spinach in your favorite recipes or place it inside your freezer.
