Description

Frozen creamed spinach is a culinary preparation that combines fresh spinach with a creamy sauce, usually based on dairy products like cream, cheese, or milk, and sometimes seasoned with garlic, onion, and spices to enhance its flavor. This mixture is frozen to preserve its smooth texture and delicate taste, making it easy to use directly in various recipes.

Spinach, which originated in Central Asia and was introduced to Europe in the Middle Ages, is a leafy green highly valued in global cuisine for its versatility and nutritional value. The creamed version offers a richer texture and a milder flavor, ideal for dishes that require a touch of creaminess without losing the benefits of this vegetable.

Properties: Spinach is an excellent source of iron, vitamins A, C, and K, antioxidants, and dietary fiber, which promotes eye health, strengthens the immune system, and aids digestion. Being frozen, it retains most of its nutrients and becomes a practical option to always have a healthy and tasty ingredient on hand.

Synonyms in Latin American Spanish: in different countries, it is also known as espinaca cremosa congelada, but it might be found under names like espinaca en crema congelada or simply espinaca con crema congelada, depending on the manufacturer and the region.
