Recipe Expert Tips

  • Make sure the spinach leaves are very dry before grinding them.
  • Use a good herb and spice grinder to turn the spinach leaves into a powder. A food processor will not work.
  • Tapping the spice grinder on a surface will prevent the fine powder from flying up into your face when you open the grinder.
    Store the powder in an air tight container to keep it fresh.
  • Add the smoothies, soups and other recipes you'd like to add more vegetables to.
