Instructions
- Wash spinach leaves in running water thoroughly. Specially if store bought. I typically soak my store-bought spinach in vinegar and salt water for about 10 minutes and rinse in it running water.

- Store in a dry air tight container in fridge for about a week. Can be frozen up to a month.
