Popeye's favorite variety! Bloomsdale Long Standing is an old standard with thick-textured, glossy, dark green, savoyed leaves. Spinach can be sauteed with other vegetables or it can be steamed as a side dish. It is also popular in omelets, soups, and pizzas. Spinach is a favorite in dips and a popular replacement for meat in lasagna. It can also be used to add flavor and texture in quiches and other baked dishes.
