Dehydrating spinach and turning it into powder is a simple and effective way to preserve its nutrients for long-term use. Whether you add it to smoothies, soups, or sauces, spinach powder is a nutritious boost to any meal!
Steps:
- Wash and Dry Spinach: Rinse spinach leaves thoroughly and pat them dry.
- Blanch the Leaves: Briefly blanch spinach in boiling water for 1-2 minutes, then transfer to ice water to stop the cooking process.
- Dehydrate: Place spinach on dehydrator trays or an oven set to a low temperature (95-110°F), and dehydrate for 8-12 hours.
- Grind into Powder: Once fully dried, blend or grind spinach into a fine powder using a blender or coffee grinder.
- Store: Store your spinach powder in an airtight jar in a cool, dark place.
