How to freeze greens (Collards, Kale, Swiss Chards, Spinach)

 

 

1.Put on a large pot of water to boil.

2.Tear the greens into usable cooking sizes if they are large.

3.Wash the leaves well. Add the leaves to boiling water. Allow them to boil for at least 5 minutes. 

4. Discard the boiling water through a strainer or colander. Run cool water over the leaves to cool them quickly. Swish them around under cold water for best results.

5.Once the leaves are cool, grab a handful, squeeze out the water, and place the leaves in a quart-sized freezer bag. With this method, your leaves will freeze in one quart-sized lump.

Depending on how you use your greens, consider measuring quantities you typically use into each bag. Now you have greens ready for the taking to add to soups, pasta dishes, frittatas while keeping flavor and nutrition!
