What are the qualities of good spinach?
Good quality spinach should have the following qualities:
Appearance:
- Fresh and vibrant green color
- Smooth and round leaves without wilting or yellowing
- Firm and crisp texture
- No signs of damage, bruising, or holes
Smell and Taste:
- Fresh and earthy aroma
- Slightly sweet and mildly bitter flavor, not overly bitter
Nutritional Value:
- High in vitamins A, C, and K

When selecting spinach, look for bunches with closed, tightly packed leaves. Avoid spinach with wilted, yellowed, or slimy leaves, as these indicate age and potential spoilage. Freshly harvested spinach is often sweeter and more tender.
