How to Blanch spinach
Content: Spinach is a great source of iron, Vitamin A, C, K , magnesium and many more nutrients. To preserve all these healthy nutrients, blanching is great for vegetables. It helps intensify the taste and bright color of vegetables. Blanching locks in both – flavor and the nutritional value of the veggies. Blanching is a very easy process. Add leafy vegetables like spinach, to a pot of hot water, let it sit for 2-3 minutes or until leaves are soft. Spoon them out and give a shock treatment by dropping spinach in a bowl of ice cold water. This will stop the cooking process, intensify its color and bring out its flavor. After the ice treatment, remove spinach from water, squeeze out all the excess water and store it in a ziploc bag and freeze. Since I was using my blanched spinach for a recipe, I have pureed it.
