I love spinach fresh or frozen.. I am wondering if anyone has tips to help make spinach not taste so bitter. I am looking for something healthy. I already add garlic and I don't add salt to any of my foods. Please help.......Many Thanks @_@

    Incorporate it into dishes. Examples: egg white and spinach omelette, spinach and feta stuffed chicken breast.

    I bet it's good with light balsamic viniagrette too! =)

    Put spinach on top of chicken breast with a little parmesan cheese and bake at 350˚ for 20 minutes ~ yum!

    Or spinach salad with tuna, feta cheese and garbanzo beans is awesome!

    Raw spinach, egg white and rye toast, great breakfast!

    Add Tobasico sauce while you eat it. Flavor is not hot.

    I made some baby spinach yesterday and we all loved it. All i did was add 1/4 cup of chicken stock to a sauce pan, then filled in to the top with spinach and put the lid and then let it steam. I stirred it twice and then turn off the stove once it wilts.You can add salt and or garlic powder if you want.

    This. Baby spinach isn't at all bitter. It is useful in all kinds of ways, but since I eat at least one sandwich a day, the easiest way to use it is as a substitute for lettuce.

    a little bit of fresh squeezed orange juice, olive oil, & lemon juice makes a great dressing for raw spinach. It takes away the bitter flavor completely.

    Here is my suggestion. Ive heard its gross but it works for me. When I eat my fresh spinach, I use about 1.5 cups and add 1/3 cup of mozzarella cheese then squirt some horseradish mustard on top and stir it all in. Sounds gross, tastes yummy:smile:
