Cooking Tips
🥬 Spinach
- Spinach reduces dramatically when cooked — use 3x more than you think.
- Add spinach at the very end of cooking to preserve nutrients.
- Pair with citrus or vitamin C-rich foods to boost iron absorption.
Nutrition: Rich in iron, calcium, vitamin K, and folate. One cup raw has only 7 calories.
Storage: Refrigerate in a dry paper towel-lined container for up to 7 days.
🍚 Rice
- Rinse rice 2-3 times before cooking to remove excess starch.
- Use a 1:1.5 ratio of rice to water for fluffy results.
- Let rice rest covered for 10 minutes after cooking, then fluff with a fork.
Nutrition: Good source of energy and manganese. Brown rice adds fiber and B vitamins.
