Organic Baby Spinach and Spring Mix
What it is
This is a pre-washed blend of tender baby spinach and a variety of delicate spring greens. The spinach provides a mild, slightly sweet flavor, while the spring mix offers a range of textures and tastes from peppery arugula to crisp romaine. It is grown organically, meaning it is cultivated without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. The greens are harvested at a young age for their tender leaves and vibrant color.
How people cook with it
This convenient mix is ready to be enjoyed in a variety of ways, from simple salads to more complex dishes.
- Tossed with vinaigrette
- Added to sandwiches
- Wilted into pasta
- Blended into smoothies
To prepare, simply open the bag and use the greens as desired. For salads, toss with your favorite dressing and other toppings like nuts, seeds, or cheese. You can also add a handful to hot dishes like pasta, soups, or stir-fries during the last minute of cooking to lightly wilt them. For a quick breakfast or snack, blend a portion into a smoothie with fruits and yogurt. Ensure the greens are thoroughly dried if using in a salad to prevent a watery dressing.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to whole spinach leaves, baby spinach is much more tender and has a milder flavor. The spring mix adds a diverse range of textures and tastes, from the slight bitterness of some greens to the crispness of others, offering more complexity than a single type of lettuce.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a quick and versatile salad base will appreciate this blend.
How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining greens fresh, reseal the bag tightly or transfer them to an airtight container. Store in the refrigerator. It is best to consume the greens within a few days of opening for optimal freshness and flavor.
