Too much moisture can speed up spoilage and attract bacteria.
Use a paper towel or salad spinner to dry the leaves.
Start by clearing out any spoiled or damp leaves.
Wrap spinach in paper towels before putting in the refrigerator.
Transfer the dried spinach to a plastic bag or a sealed container.
Remove excess air from the bag or container before sealing it.
Put the bag or container with spinach in the fridge's crisper drawer.
The crisper drawer maintains humidity to keep leafy vegetables fresh.
When keeping the spinach in the fridge, place it away from fruits.
Fruits release ethylene gas that can cause spinach to spoil faster.
