Can you freeze Spinach (Raw)?
Yes. Spinach (Raw) keeps 8–12 months in the freezer when stored in airtight packaging.
For long freezer storage, blanch spinach briefly in boiling water, plunge it into ice water, then squeeze out the moisture and pack it in bags with the air pressed out — blanching halts the enzymes that cause off-flavours and keeps it good for 8–12 months. Raw leaves also freeze fine for smoothies. Use frozen spinach in cooking, as it won't be crisp.
