Baby Spinach
Baby spinach is young spinach with tender leaves and a mild green flavor. It wilts quickly in hot dishes and can also be used raw in salads and bowls.
Identity
Tender greens
Wilts fast and adds mild green flavor.
Add baby spinach near the end of cooking when you want it just wilted. Because the leaves shrink a lot, a large raw handful becomes a much smaller cooked amount.
