Healthy Spinach Recipes to Try

Content: Any yellow or browning leaves should be thrown out. If you are purchasing spinach in a bag or box, buy it as fresh as possible. The fresher a product is, the more nutritious it will be. You'll know your spinach has gone bad when it begins to wilt or starts to smell. It's always a good idea to wash fresh spinach before eating or cooking with it. 12 ﻿
Fresh spinach should be used right away, within about 3 days. You can also freeze fresh greens. To do so, blanch your spinach in boiling water for one minute and then place it in an ice bath to cool. Next, wring out as much water as possible and form the spinach into single-serving balls, place in a ziplock bag in the freezer. Keep blanched spinach in the freezer for 8–12 months.
