Earthbound Farm 50/50 Spinach and Spring Mix, 16 oz
What it is
This is a pre-washed blend of tender spinach leaves and a variety of delicate spring greens. It offers a convenient way to add fresh, leafy vegetables to your meals. The mix is designed to provide a balanced flavor and texture profile, combining the mild earthiness of spinach with the subtle nuances of different spring lettuces. It comes ready to eat, saving you preparation time.
How people cook with it
This versatile mix is perfect for quick and easy salads or as a fresh addition to cooked dishes.
- Quick side salads
- Sandwich and wrap filler
- Topping for cooked dishes
- Smoothie ingredient
Simply open the bag and use the greens directly from the container. For salads, toss with your favorite dressing and other toppings. You can also wilt the greens slightly by adding them to hot dishes like pasta, stir-fries, or soups during the last few minutes of cooking. They soften quickly, absorbing the flavors of the dish. For a cold preparation, rinse the greens if desired, though they are pre-washed.
How it differs from similar foods
This blend differs from pure spinach by incorporating a variety of spring greens, which can include items like arugula, mizuna, or tatsoi. These additions contribute a broader range of flavors and textures, making the mix more complex than a single type of lettuce.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a convenient and fresh way to incorporate more greens into their diet.
How to keep the rest
After opening, reseal the bag tightly and store it in the refrigerator. To maintain freshness, try to use the greens within a few days. Avoid storing it near ethylene-producing fruits, as this can accelerate wilting.
