How to use them
Always keep a bag of baby spinach leaves in the fridge. Rinsed leaves can make an instant salad or top off a sandwich-and they're very nutritious. Make hot and fast side dish wilted spinach. Just heat a teaspoon of olive oil, a crushed garlic clove and some black pepper in a nonstick skillet over medium heat, then toss in four handfuls of spinach leaves and turn them for a minute or two.
