Spinach is great for you and tastes similar to lettuce. Adding it to your salad means adding extra vitamins and minerals that make your body healthy.
Good-quality spinach will have broad, thick and crisp dark green leaves. The stems will be unblemished and free of mud.
Make washing spinach easy by adding a small amount of salt to cold water. Swish around, transfer to colander, rinse and drain immediately, pat dry.
