Kitchen Hint of the Day!

Spinach will keep in the refrigerator for 2-3 days, as long as it's stored in a sealed plastic bag. To preserve its shelf life, don't wash it or cut it before you are ready to prepare it. Want to freeze fresh spinach? Remove the stems, blanch the leaves in boiling water for two minutes, then run under cold water and dry before you freeze. Removing their stems will allow the leaves retain more of their moisture. Spinach will keep in the freezer for 10-12 months.
