Baby Spinach

These dark green leaves are delicate enough for salads but hardy enough to be cooked, and can be sautéed or stir-fried, layered into lasagna or simmered in sauces, soups and stews.

 

How to preserve:- Keep a paper towel below the greens in the box and close the lid so that it doesn’t get moisturized. This keeps the vegetable fresh and healthy.

How to Preserve Leaves? : Glycerin Method

One method of leaf preservation is to put them into a glycerin/water solution. This will preserve your leaves yet leave them relatively flexible.

 

This preserving method works because the natural moisture present in the leaves is replaced by the glycerin solution, maintaining the leaf’s texture and form.

Butterhead

Can we freeze lettuce?

Yes, you really can freeze lettuce! We recommend freezing thicker lettuces, like romaine or butterhead. Keep in mind that lettuce tends to lose some of its crispness and flavor when it freezes, so it’s best to freeze lettuce for smoothies, soups, and stews—not for recipes that rely on fresh lettuce leaves like salads.
