₱ 219 /kg

This whole-leaf spinach is lightly blanched and quickly frozen after harvesting to help maintain its color, taste, and nutritional qualities. It is portioned into compact spheres for convenient use, with no washing, trimming, or chopping required.

Unlike finely chopped or puréed spinach, these whole leaves retain more of their natural structure, making them suitable for a variety of dishes, including soups, sauces, baked recipes, and smoothies.

A convenient, nutrient-rich vegetable option suitable for everyday cooking, including low-carbohydrate and balanced diets.

Chef’s Tips for Preparing Frozen Whole Leaf Spinach:

Remove Excess Moisture: After heating, gently squeeze or drain the spinach before adding to baked dishes such as lasagna, quiche, or omelets. This helps prevent excess liquid from affecting texture.
Add Directly to Hot Dishes: For soups, stews, curries, or sauces, the frozen spinach can be added directly and heated through during the final few minutes of cooking.
Avoid Overcooking: Heat only until fully warmed. Extended cooking can make the leaves overly soft and cause their vibrant green color to fade.

Storage & Shelf Life

Store frozen spinach properly to maintain quality, color, and food safety.

Freezer Storage: Keep frozen at −18°C (0°F) or below. For best quality, use before the “best before” date indicated on the packaging.

Handling After Thawing: Avoid refreezing once fully thawed, as this may affect texture and water content. If thawed, cook promptly and consume.

Best Quality Period: For optimal flavor and texture, consume within 9–12 months of freezing. Longer storage remains safe if consistently frozen, though some quality changes may occur over time.
