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.
🧀 Cheese
- Bring cheese to room temperature 30 minutes before serving for best flavor.
- Grate your own cheese — pre-shredded contains anti-caking agents that affect melting.
- Add cheese at the end of cooking on low heat to prevent it from becoming rubbery.
Nutrition: High in calcium, protein, and phosphorus. Varies by type — mozzarella is lower fat, cheddar is higher.
Storage: Wrap in parchment paper, then plastic wrap. Hard cheeses last weeks; soft cheeses use within days.
