Spinach
Spinach is extremely high in protein, vitamin C and calcium.
Storage and Preparation:
Spinach should be stored in a plastic bag for up to 5 days. Be sure to wash spinach thoroughly before eating. Even the bagged baby spinach should be washed before eating. Do not wash spinach before storing. Spinach may be eaten raw in salads, steamed, sautéed or baked into your favorite casserole.
