You can't use it in a salad, but you can use it in a green smoothie, and you'll never even know the difference. Just wash it first, chop it, and put it in freezer bags. Throw the greens, frozen, into your blender later. You can freeze greens, and I do it all the time.

I never heard of freezing greens before. This would be GREAT if it works. Does it change consistancy? Do you put it in water? or just freeze it ? Please respond. How do you freeze spinach?

If you don't have the $ now you can finance it for a year w/ no payments and no interest. I prefer cash..but not everyone has it. It was half off! They delivered it the next day just in time for my bulk order of hemp seeds, hemp powder and chia seeds from LivingNutrionals. Put in Hemp10 for an additional 10% off for the month of March. I went to the 99 cent store today and they just got in a shipment (every wed.) of ORGANIC produce. I took the last 2 HUGE containers of ORGANIC SPINACH, I also got several red and yellow bell peppers, 4 avocados, 4 bunches of baby bananas for my kids, 2 papaya, 2 italian squash, 4 cucumbers garlic, onions, 1 huge bag of romaine lettuce and it was ALL organic and ALL for $15!! It'll last me atleast 4-5 days for a family of 4....the spinach will last longer and I put it in the freezer. Buying organic or washing what isn't REALLY good with a good vegetable wash may seem more at first...which is the complaint of a few immediate in-laws...but if you dump the junk and search for sales, join a co-op, buy in bulk from Amazon or Azure....you're saving time and gas, too! They ship to you free! Just search, click, buy and open your front door! I am now a part of a co-op once a week on Saturday for $20 we get a clothes basket FULL of organic produce. Whatever we don't get from these two places (fruit/veges are seasonal) we also hit Costco for some of our nuts, dates, spinach and bananas when not available through the other stores and Clarks for some of our seeds, organic weeds, kale and collard greens and our Kombucha. This is on the way home from the Co-op on Saturdays...on the same street. I finally got the cycle down. OH, and we go out to 99 Ranch Market also every Sunday which is near a vege place we all go out to eat at and they have Baby Thai Coconuts for .49 cents each!
