How people cook with it
Fresh spinach is a versatile ingredient that can be used in both cooked and raw preparations. It wilts down significantly when heated, making it easy to add a large volume of greens to meals.
- Salads
- Sautéed side dish
- Added to pasta
- Blended into smoothies
You can use this spinach directly from the bag in salads for a fresh, crisp addition. For cooked applications, simply add the leaves to a hot pan with a little oil or butter. They will quickly wilt down. You can also stir it into soups, stews, or pasta sauces towards the end of cooking to add color and nutrients. It blends well into smoothies, providing a boost of green without overpowering the other flavors. Ensure it is thoroughly washed if you are not using pre-washed varieties, though this product is typically ready to go.
How it differs from similar foods
Compared to mature spinach, baby spinach leaves are smaller and have a more delicate texture. This makes them ideal for raw applications like salads where larger leaves might be too tough. Baby spinach also cooks down more quickly.

How to keep the rest
After opening, keep any remaining spinach in its original bag or an airtight container in the refrigerator. It is best to use it within a few days for optimal freshness. Avoid washing until just before use if storing for longer periods, though this product is typically pre-washed.
