Spinach purée

Spinach purée is a thick, smooth paste made by blending blanched or cooked spinach. It is used as an addition to soups, sauces, pasta, dumplings and gnocchi, lending a vivid green colour and a mild, slightly earthy flavour. It is also popular as the base for green pesto or creamy dips. Thanks to its high content of iron, vitamin K and folic acid, it is a nutritious component of any diet. In the kitchen it saves time compared to processing fresh spinach and guarantees a consistent result. It can easily be frozen and used throughout the year.
