Cookin` Greens Chopped Spinach is a dream come true — there’s no water loss so you don’t end up with a mushy block of deflated leaves! Instead, our IQF Chopped Spinach is leafy and crisp, ready to sauté with a little bit of Olive Oil and Garlic and a squeeze of Lemon. You can also throw it directly into a meal you are making for increased nutrition — like a pasta or soup! Our Spinach is so fresh you can even enjoy it raw, blended into a green smoothie… so many options and so little time? Not a problem, our product is also double washed, chopped, and blanched. Delicious convenience.
