Description
Salad or flat-leaf Spinach is identified by its dark green, slightly oblong, spade leaf shape. Spinach leaves are tender, with a faintly bitter flavor. The plant is naturally rich in vitamins A and C, folate, calcium, and iron, which lead many people to regard this veggie as a valuable addition to any diet. Spinach can even be eaten raw, making it a versatile addition to any dish be it salad, pasta, sandwiches… you name it, and spinach will be a good fit for it.
How to Store
Storage
– Store in the coldest area of the walk-in cooler. Kitchen heat will cause yellowing and wilting and moisture release almost immediately.
– Store in the original container and in the original sealed plastic bag to protect.

– Keep exposed product away from drafts from the cooler fan. Spinach is highly susceptible to dehydration damage.
