Spinach is available year-round. It has small leaves that are green to black-green in color (the deeper the color, the higher the nutritional value) and it has a pungent flavor. It pairs well with Bibb lettuce, Boston lettuce and radicchio. When shopping for spinach, look for crisp, green or dark green leaves with no slimy spots. Pre-packaged, pre-washed spinach is available in most stores.

To remove dirt and sand, clean leaves by swishing them around thoroughly in several changes of water. Dry with a towel or salad spinner and store clean leaves in a damp cloth towel or between damp paper towels. Place in a plastic bag in the refrigerator crisper. Remove any tough, stringy stems before using and use within 4 days. Pre-packaged spinach can keep up to a week.
