Cookin’ Greens™ takes the fuss and muss out of buying greens that may have travelled hundreds of kilometres to reach a grocery store that then need washing and prepping before you even begin to cook. Instead, these ready-to-cook (Product of US) dark-leafy greens are farm picked and within six hours are double blanched, chopped and quick-frozen for your convenience, locking in all of their flavour and benefits. The result is vibrant and textured, improving upon the traditional, “frozen block” format (spinach) in favour of shredded, confetti-like glorious greens. Cookin’ Green’s™ 500g package will include many of your favourite dark-leafy options: chopped kale, rapini and spinch and a unique mix that includes chopped spinach, rapini, collards, yellow beans and onions.

Here’s what a bag or two of Cookin’ Greens™, paired with various other common pantry staples can do for you: We’ve created 3 pantry areas: dry, refrigerated and frozen (see below) so that you have many more options to draw from.
