What the AI looks for in Fresh Spinach
- Baby vs. mature spinach
- Use baby spinach raw, and mature bunched spinach for cooking. Mature leaves have more flavor when cooked but are grittier and need thorough washing.
- Leaf condition
- Look for no dark, wet or translucent leaves through the container. Spinach spoils fast and the rot spreads to nearby leaves.
- Cook-down volume
- Expect a large container to wilt into a small amount when cooked. This helps you buy the right quantity for the dish.
Brands that matter
- Organic Girl: Organic clamshell baby spinach.
- Earthbound Farm: Organic baby spinach and spinach blends.
- Taylor Farms: Conventional bagged spinach.
What to avoid
- Containers with wet, dark leaves on the bottom.
- Mature bunched spinach used raw without a careful wash.
