Content: Fill a large stockpot with enough cool water to cover the spinach, then set it on the stove over medium-high heat. Allow the water to reach a steady, rolling boil. Note that traditional blanching will preserve the color and taste of the spinach but may cause a loss of some nutrients to occur. To reduce the amount of nutrients lost, consider steam-blanching instead. Prepare to steam-blanch by placing a steaming basket over the boiling water. {"smallUrl":"https:\/\/www.wikihow.com\/images\/thumb\/5\/5c\/Freeze-Spinach-Step-7.jpg\/v4-460px-Freeze-Spinach-Step-7.jpg","bigUrl":"\/images\/thumb\/5\/5c\/Freeze-Spinach-Step-7.jpg\/aid6652201-v4-728px-Freeze-Spinach-Step-7.jpg","smallWidth":460,"smallHeight":345,"bigWidth":728,"bigHeight":546,"licensing":"<div class=\"mw-parser-output\"><p>License: <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noreferrer noopener\" class=\"external text\" href=\"https:\/\/creativecommons.org\/licenses\/by-nc-sa\/3.0\/\">Creative Commons<\/a><br>\n<\/p><p><br \/>\n<\/p><\/div>"}

Blanch the spinach for 2 minutes. Quickly dunk the full batch of spinach in the water and cover the stockpot. Start watching the clock immediately, and remove it after two minutes pass. If steam-blanching the spinach, place the leaves in the steamer basket and immediately cover it with the lid.
