About Spinach, frozen, chopped or leaf, unprepared
Spinach (Spinacia oleracea) is a leafy green vegetable with tender, dark green leaves and a mild, slightly earthy, faintly mineral flavor. It is one of the most versatile greens around: crisp baby spinach goes straight into salads, sandwiches, and smoothies, while heartier mature leaves stand up to sauteing, wilting into pasta and risotto, or folding into soups, omelets, curries, and dips. Nutritionally it punches well above its weight, delivering vitamin K, vitamin A, folate, iron, magnesium, and antioxidants such as lutein for very few calories.
Because a big bowl of raw spinach cooks down to just a few forkfuls, it is an easy way to slip greens into almost any meal, and a splash of lemon or a pairing with vitamin C helps the body absorb its plant-based iron. Fresh spinach is delicate and bruises easily, so choose crisp, deep-green leaves with no wilting or sliminess, store them dry in the refrigerator, and use within a few days, or reach for frozen spinach, which is picked and packed at its peak.
