How to freeze spinach
Freeze spinach fresh or after boiling.
Freeze fresh
Wash spinach well and blot thoroughly with kitchen paper.
Cut into chunks of convenient size (3-4 cm).
Place in a zipper bag or other freezer bag and close the bag tightly. Place in the freezer.
You can use the frozen vegetables in soups or other dishes, pour boiling water over them, or boil them quickly for about 1 minute. They should be used up within about a month.
Freeze after boiling
Wash spinach well, and then place in boiling salted water, starting from the root end, and boil for about 1 minute.
After boiling, remove from ice water.
Wrap each portion in plastic wrap, place in a zipper bag, close the mouth, and put in the freezer.
If you want to cook it, you can cook it frozen; if you want to make boiled rice or other dishes, thaw it in the refrigerator for a few hours before seasoning it. Use up within about one month.
