Simple Truth Frozen Spinach Cubes
What it is
These are pre-portioned cubes of chopped spinach that have been flash-frozen to preserve their freshness and nutrients. Each cube contains a concentrated amount of spinach, making it easy to add a serving of greens to your meals without the need for washing, chopping, or dealing with wilting produce. They are a convenient way to ensure you always have spinach on hand, regardless of the season.
How people cook with it
Frozen spinach cubes are a versatile ingredient that can be incorporated into a wide variety of dishes, both savory and sometimes sweet.
- Add to soups and stews
- Mix into pasta sauces
- Blend into smoothies
- Incorporate into casseroles
To use, simply remove the desired number of spinach cubes from your freezer. You can add them directly to hot dishes like simmering soups, sauces, or casseroles, where they will thaw and cook quickly. For cold applications like smoothies, you can briefly thaw the cubes under running water or let them sit at room temperature for a few minutes before blending.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fresh spinach, which can wilt significantly when cooked and requires careful handling, frozen cubes offer consistent portion sizes and convenience. They also eliminate the potential for grit or sand often found in fresh spinach, as they are typically washed before freezing. This makes them a more predictable ingredient for recipes.
Who it is for
Home cooks looking for a quick and easy way to add vegetables to their meals will find these cubes very useful.
How to keep the rest
Keep the remaining spinach cubes in their original packaging, tightly sealed, and store them in the freezer. Ensure the freezer is at a consistent temperature to maintain quality. Avoid refreezing thawed cubes. Proper storage ensures the spinach remains fresh and ready for use.
