TIPS:
HOW TO SELECT N STORE:
- Choose spinach that has vibrant deep green leaves and stems with no signs of yellowing.
- The leaves should look fresh and tender, and not be wilted or bruised.
- Do not wash spinach before storing as the exposure to water encourages spoilage.
- Place spinach in a plastic storage bag and wrap the bag tightly around the spinach, squeezing out as much of the air as possible.
- Place in refrigerator where it will keep fresh for up to 5 days.
Lovely presentation. :)
