  • Add 2 cups of hot water and spinach cubes.  Season to taste.  
  • Turn heat down and allow to simmer for 10 minutes.

  • Rest for 5 minutes before serving.
    There is some confusion with the freshness of frozen vegetables.

    If you cannot get hold of local produce, like seasonal spinach from a nearby farm,     frozen spinach cubes is a good alternative.
    Spinach is frozen within hours of being picked, to help keep its nutritional properties.

    Better than the so called "fresh"packaged spinach leaves available in the shop which have traveled thousands of miles and picked weeks before.  This is why   
    once the bag is open, the leaves go mushy within 24 hours.
   Check the label to find out its origin.
