Tips

  • This recipe helps you enjoy your entire vegetable.
  • Blanching spinach makes beta carotene more absorbent, which is good for your eyes, skin, and immune system.
  • Blanching also reduces oxalate in raw spinach that could hinder calcium absorption.
  • If not finished in one sitting, keep it in an airtight container for up to a week.
  • Enjoy as a banchan with rice, as a healthy snack, or with any of your meals.
