Guest guest Posted August 2, 2005 Report Share Posted August 2, 2005 There must be some sort of trick to cleaning/rinsing fresh spinach. The last time I got a batch to mix in with my lettuce for salads I could not get everything out. I put it through the salad spinner several times. Still when I'd eat salads I'd feel like there is sand mixed in. It was gross, loud (internally) and annoying as heck.

Guest guest Posted August 3, 2005 Report Share Posted August 3, 2005 probably the best trick is soaking it in water.... just sort of move it gently around in the water, the leaves should float, while the sand should sink.. if it is really sandy spinach... soak it a few times! =) then you could spin that spinach. =) jenni On Wednesday, August 3, 2005, at 12:19 AM, subprong wrote: > There must be some sort of trick to cleaning/rinsing fresh spinach. > The last > time I got a batch to mix in with my lettuce for salads I could not get > everything out.

I find it works better for sandy spinach (and leeks!) to fill the sink with water and swish, repeat, and then use the spinner to dry. The actual submersing in water seems to work a lot better than running water over... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
