Content: Prepping the Spinach for Blanching
Because spinach grows directly on the ground, it can be quite dirty when you purchase it. Before freezing or consuming spinach, it is important to thoroughly wash it to remove any traces of dirt. Simply dunk the spinach into a bowl of water three times, changing the water between each time. Once the spinach is clean, you can remove the stems and loosely chop the spinach, if desired. Blanching the Spinach for Freezing
Blanching spinach helps the leaves preserve their green color and nutrients during the freezing process. It will also soften the texture of the spinach in the final cooked dish. You will notice a significant loss in volume from blanching. Typically, 10 to 12 cups of spinach will result in 1 cup of blanched spinach. To blanch the spinach, boil it in a pot of water on the stove for 30 seconds to 1 minute. Remove the spinach using a spider or strainer and immediately place it in a bowl of ice water to halt the cooking process.
