baby spoon spinach
Bright green, baby spoon spinach is the same variety as mature spinach, but picked at an earlier stage of growth. The chewy texture of this young, spoon-shaped spinach is crispy and coarse. Sweeter than regular spinach, baby spinach offers a delicate, subtle flavor and tender, edible stems.
Nutritional Value
Rich in vitamins and minerals, spinach is considered to be an excellent source of iron and is exceptionally high in beta carotene and folacin. Raw spinach provides excellent roughage for the digestive system.
Serving Ideas
Baby spinach is more delicate that mature or teen spinach, and is most often eaten fresh in salad preparations. Pair with fresh citrus and berries, nuts, strong cheeses, spring vegetables such as peas and asparagus, or toss with hot past or grains until barely wilted. Baby spinach has a more mild, less metallic flavor than mature spinach and is complimented by vinaigrettes, fresh herbs, garlic, toasted bread and beans. Keep baby spinach cool and dry until ready to use.
Seasons/Availability
Baby spoon spinach is available year round.
