How can I retain the colour of Spinach?
Before use the spinach needs to be blanched. At many times, especially if let unattended, the spinach gets boiled. This leads to overcooking and loss of distinctly green colour of spinach.
However, there is a simple way t avoid this. Simply, fill a bowl up with ice as your spinach cooks and cover the ice in cold water. Immerse your spinach into the ice water after it finishes cooking.
This helps preserve the bright green color of your blanched spinach as well as maximizes the spinach flavor and nutrient content.
