Q I would like to know if you can freeze spinach?

A: Yes, you can blanch it and freeze it. You can buy frozen spinach so there isn't any reason you can't freeze it yourself. Like most frozen vegetables, it will be soft when you thaw it, but if you're using it in a cooked dish, it won't matter. The easiest way to do it is to dip it in boiling water for about 2 minutes, then remove with a slotted spoon and shock it in ice water to set the color. Drain it and squeeze out as much water as you can, then package it in an airtight freezer bag and freeze.
