Spinach is a dark green leafy vegetable with a slightly bitter taste that is a rich source of vitamin A, C, iron, folate, calcium, potassium, and magnesium. Serve raw spinach in salads, or on sandwiches. Cooked spinach may be used as a side dish, or added to soups, lasagna, or vegetable recipes. Dishes that end in “a la Florentine” have spinach as a key ingredient.
When shopping, select bunches of spinach with crisp, dark leaves. Avoid limp bunches with yellowing leaves or insect damage. Store fresh spinach in a plastic bag in the refrigerator for use within 3-5 days
