Spinach

Peak Season: March to May

Perfect Pick: Opt for bunches with leaves that are crisp and verdant green, with no spots, yellowing, or limpness. Thin stems are best, as thick ones are a sign of more bitter, overgrown leaves.

Handle with Care: Pack unwashed spinach bunches loosely in plastic bags and store in the fridge for 3 to 4 days.

The Payoff: Chromium, which is involved in carbohydrate and fat metabolism and may reduce hunger and food intake.
