This is absolutely peak time for our spring spinach. It’s green, glorious and abundant this week. We are selling it for $4.95 a pound. That’s a BIG bag of spinach, but you don’t have to buy the whole pound—we have it loose, as well as conveniently bagged, so you can choose a little or a lot.

We like a lot, and we’re throwing our spinach into everything this week: soups, salads, smoothies, scrambled eggs, you name it.

Tender spring spinach is delicious both raw and cooked, and only needs 2-3 minutes of steaming to be ready for the table. You can season it simply with butter, salt and pepper; lemon juice; yogurt and cumin; or any number of other favorite flavor combinations.

Along with tasting fresh and delicious, spinach is a terrific source of plant-based minerals—potassium, magnesium, calcium, manganese, folate, phosphorus, choline, zinc, iron and copper—as well as vitamins A, B2, B6, C, E and K.

Come get your spinach!
