How to Dry Spinach
Spinach is available in three different varieties, smooth leaf, semi-savoy and savoy, which differ based upon the size and shape of the leaves. The leafy vegetable is an excellent source of vitamin A and C and is purchased fresh, frozen or canned. Fresh spinach eaten raw is best served dry, which is accomplished without the need for a salad spinner or any other expensive equipment.
