Spinach (spinach) is a green leafy vegetable that is rich in iron. Spinach can be eaten raw or made into a variety of simple and delicious dishes. You can use spinach to make salads, smoothies, boiled, sauteed or covered with cream. Here are some suggestions for how to prepare spinach.
Steps
Prepare Spinach
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/e/e4/Prepare-Spinach-Step-1-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Prepare-Spinach-Step-1- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/e/e4/Prepare-Spinach-Step-1-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Prepare- Spinach-Step-1-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Choose delicious spinach. Choose bunches of fresh, dark leafy greens from your supermarket or grocery store. Do not buy vegetables with yellow, wilted or bruised leaves. [1] X Research Source Spinach must be fresh to keep it for a long time. At the grocery store, most spinach is stemmed and sold in sealed bags. At the market, spinach is often sold in large bundles.
- The most common type of spinach is the one with smooth, flat leaves that are easy to wash. [2] X Research Source
- Savoy spinach is more heat tolerant than others. However, its leaves have deep wrinkles, so it is difficult to wash off the soil and dirt stuck in the leaves.
- Young spinach is picked 15-20 days after planting, while spinach is usually picked after 45-60 days. Young spinach with soft leaves and used as a salad will taste better, while older vegetables used for processing are best.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/f/f5/Prepare-Spinach-Step-2-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Prepare-Spinach-Step-2- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/f/f5/Prepare-Spinach-Step-2-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Prepare- Spinach-Step-2-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Put the spinach in a plastic bag and store it in the refrigerator. Spinach can be stored this way for 3 days. [3] X Research Source For vegetables sold in sealed bags, after opening the bag, you should clamp the top of the bag tightly to keep the remaining vegetables in the bag fresh. If not processed immediately, store vegetables until you want to use them, do not wash and dry to avoid wilting vegetables.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/5/57/Prepare-Spinach-Step-3-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Prepare-Spinach-Step-3- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/5/57/Prepare-Spinach-Step-3-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Prepare- Spinach-Step-3-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Cut off the stem of the spinach. If the leaves are still attached to the thick stem, use a knife or scissors to cut off the stem. Use a vegetable cutter to make it easier to cut. The stem of the spinach is edible, but it is a bit hard and has an unpleasant taste. The vegetable leaves will taste better.
{“smallUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images_en/thumb/4/48/Prepare-Spinach-Step-4-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Prepare-Spinach-Step-4- Version-2.jpg”,”bigUrl”:”https://www.wikihow.com/images/thumb/4/48/Prepare-Spinach-Step-4-Version-2.jpg/v4-728px-Prepare- Spinach-Step-4-Version-2.jpg”,”smallWidth”:460,”smallHeight”:345,”bigWidth”:728,”bigHeight”:546,”licensing”:”<div class=”mw-parser -output”></div>”}
Wash off the soil and dirt clinging to the vegetable leaves. Soil on the leaves will make the vegetables look unclean. For vegetables sold in sealed bags, you should still wash them to be safe. As for vegetables sold in the supermarket, you can skip this step if not necessary. Here is the process of washing spinach:
- Cut off the spinach leaves.
- Separate the leaves and stems of the vegetables. However, this step is not required because some people still like to eat vegetable stalks.
- Put vegetable leaves in a bowl of water, wash each leaf and change the water.
- Continue washing until the soil clinging to the leaves is gone.

Let the vegetables dry. Wait for vegetables to dry before processing. You can put the vegetables in the basket and wait 10 minutes until the vegetables are dry or use a paper towel to absorb the water. Be careful not to break the vegetables. After the vegetables are dry, you should process them immediately to avoid wilting.
