- Fresh spinach leaves can remain good for up to a week. Excess moisture can accelerate its decay. Therefore, store fresh spinach unwashed and refrain from washing it until you are ready to use it. Pat the leaves dry with a paper towel and place them in a freezer bag along with the towel to absorb any moisture.
- Due to its limited shelf life, spinach is an excellent candidate for freezing. Wash the leaves, trim off the ends and any yellowing parts, blanch them, and then pack them into freezer bags. Refer to a guide on how to properly freeze spinach for best results.
