Palak (Spinach)

Palak half

Spinach, whether bunched or prepackaged, should be washed very well since the leaves and stems tend to collect sand and soil.
If you are going to use the spinach in a salad, you can dry it in either a salad spinner or by shaking it in a colander.
If you are going to cook it, you do not need to worry about drying it well as the remaining water will serve to help it cook.
Spinach is one of the few vegetables we suggest quick boiling (for one minute). That’s because boiling will help to reduce the amount of oxalic acids found in spinach, resulting in a sweeter taste.
