Earthbound Farm Organic Baby Spinach & Arugula Blend
What it is
This is a pre-washed, ready-to-eat blend of tender baby spinach and peppery arugula. The combination offers a fresh, slightly spicy flavor profile. It is grown organically, meaning it is cultivated without synthetic pesticides or fertilizers. The leaves are small and delicate, making them suitable for a variety of culinary applications. This blend is packaged for convenience, saving preparation time in the kitchen.
How people cook with it
This versatile greens blend is perfect for adding fresh flavor and color to meals. It can be enjoyed raw or lightly cooked.
- Tossed into salads
- Added to sandwiches
- Wilted into pasta dishes
- Blended into smoothies
To use, simply open the package and add the greens directly to your dish. For salads, toss with your favorite dressing. If you prefer to wilt the greens, add them to hot dishes like pasta, stir-fries, or omelets during the last minute of cooking. They will soften quickly. For a refreshing smoothie, combine a handful with fruits, yogurt, or juice. The mild spinach flavor is complemented by the zesty bite of arugula.
How it differs from similar foods
This blend differs from plain spinach by incorporating the distinct peppery notes of arugula. It also differs from larger, mature spinach leaves as the baby varieties are more tender and have a milder taste. The pre-washed nature also sets it apart from bulk greens that require washing.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a quick and easy way to incorporate fresh greens into their diet will appreciate this blend.
How to keep the rest
To keep the remaining greens fresh, ensure the bag is tightly sealed after each use. Store in the refrigerator. It is best to consume the blend within a few days of opening for optimal freshness and flavor.
