Although mature spinach is ready for harvest five to seven weeks after planting, baby spinach is harvested when the plants are only about a month old. The delicate leaves provide all the fiber and nutrition of mature spinach, along with a mild flavor and tender texture. After the leaves are quickly blanched in boiling water, baby spinach is ready to freeze for use later as a side dish or in dips, omelets, soup, lasagna or a nearly endless variety of hot dishes. Step 1
Rinse the spinach thoroughly to remove sand and grit. Baby spinach requires no trimming or cutting. Step 2
Fill a large cooking pot with water. Bring the water to a full, rolling boil. Step 3
Place the baby spinach in a cheesecloth bag or metal steamer. Immerse the spinach in the boiling water, and cover the pot. Step 4
Set a kitchen timer for two minutes.
