List of Ingredients




1 pound of fresh spinach equals about 1 cup of cooked spinach.

According to historical records, spinach was cultivated by the Greeks and Romans even before the Christian era. Today spinach is one of our most commonly used vegetables.

PURCHASING SPINACH: Choose leaves that are crisp and have dark green with a nice fresh fragrance. Avoid those that are limp, damaged, or spotted.

WASHING SPINACH: Like all greens, spinach should be washed as soon as you buy it. Loose spinach can be very gritty, so it must be thoroughly rinsed (it can't be washed enough). It grows in sandy soils that seem to cling to the growing leaves.

The easist way to wash spinach is to put it into a sink or large container of cold water. Remove stems by twisting or cutting spinach leaves off just above stem line and immerse in water. Swish leaves around, then let them stand for a few minutes while dirt sinks to the bottom.

Thoroughly dry by using a salad spinner (my favorite way) or by blotting with paper towels. Wrap in dry paper towels and seal in a plastic bag for storage.
