Vegetable Gardening : How to Harvest & Store Spinach

🌱 Spinach is a cold-loving plant that grows best in the Spring or Fall.

🌿 Spinach can be harvested as baby spinach or as big leaf cooking spinach.

🥗 Baby spinach is better for salads but harder to grow, while big cooking spinach is easier to grow but harder to eat in salads.

🔪 To harvest baby spinach, you can use a sharp kitchen knife to cut the leaves close to the stem.

🍽️ Big cooking spinach can be harvested by cutting the leaves below the stem, but it's better for cooking rather than eating in salads.

❄️ Spinach can be stored in the fridge in a plastic bag for up to a week, or wilted and condensed before freezing for longer preservation.

🌿 Spinach plants can regrow several times after harvesting, but it's important to keep them weed-free to avoid harvesting weeds instead.
