      if you add some olive oil

  • What's the benefit to them having an online only special? Wouldn't you want to draw people into the store

    • +2

      more sales, overstock, or black friday deal.

    • I am lazy, but I always go visit Coles. There are times where I go, eh I will wing it with whatever is in the fridge. I now know that Coles do online only specials, might end up buying things and stocking up.

    Not worth buying leaves in a sealed bag, half the time they are soft and soggy because they were still wet when they were packed

    • Aldi are objectively superior. Dryest leaves around

      life hack put a couple of crumpled paper towels in the bag after opening. These act like a dessicant absorbing the moisture and the contents will stay fresh much longer.
      BTW Woolies spinach > Coles spinach, younger fresher leaves and it lasts longer

        this is one of the best tips ive seen all week

        • +1

          With herbs put them in a container with paper towel that has been wet with water.

        • +2

          me mum she lines a large container, washes the vegs and various salads, spins it dry, and puts it in container with lid on, fridge.
          ready to eat and snack.
          crisp and lasts for many weeks

      • Agreed- WW salad leaves > Coles in my experience also

      • +1

        It works, somebody taught me recently. Been keeping those leaves Superdry.

        On the Woolies vs Coles thing, Coles give you way more value in the Jumbo bag. So I'd still take a slight hit in quality for paying half the price.

        Pity the towels don"t absorb the pesticides as spinach is on the dirty dozen list. 😐

        • what dirtydoz list?

            • @corky:

              1. Those studies were done by the USA argri. Not Australian.

              2. The advise is to wash the spinach. Bagged spinash has been washed.

              People get wires corssed with studies and conclusions. Soooo many people talk about how our soil is loosing its mineral count, and therefore our food, only not realaing they quote US studies.

              Have a read into Australian soil quality- its dropping but much much slower and from a higher baseline.

              • @Goremans: "Since it's establishment in 1995, the Dirty Dozen has become a widely recognized resource across the globe for consumers looking to make healthier choices in their fruit and vegetable purchases"

                Each year, the American Environmental Working Group (EWG) publishes a list of twelve produce with the highest amount of pesticides, “the dirty dozen” and a list of the fifteen produce least likely to have pesticides, “the clean fifteen.” This is an American publication, however it is often viewed that Australia’s non- organic farming practices are very similar.

                • @corky: "Often viewed"…. better homes and gardens…..

                  Science

                  https://www.cambridge.org/core/journals/proceedings-of-the-n…

                  Further:

                  "Listing the number of chemicals detected in food tells the consumer nothing of safety. The approach which is used by activists in the US has been resoundingly ridiculed and discredited by experts globally for failing to mention that any pesticide residues found on fruits and vegetables remain well below safety limits.

                  I encourage the Guardian to publish the new research that shows even the highest levels of glyphosate detected in Australians are at least 1,000 times beneath Acceptable Daily Intakes. Amounts that the researchers emphasise are insignificant and biologically irrelevant.

                  According to the FAO and the OECD, Australian farmers use less pesticide product per hectare than the UK and many of their global counterparts. In fact, Australian farmers use 95 per cent less pesticide now than in the 1950’s to control insect pests, weeds and diseases. This improvement is the result of significant innovations in chemistry through major investment in research and development over many decades.".

                  I feel like you used chatgpt to give a generic response…

                  • @Goremans: Interesting articles. Prefer to err on the side of caution though and avoid the dirty dozen. Each to his own. Hard to grow crops without pesticides even organic use synthetic. And no didnt use chat gpt. Probably will now to see what it says 😁

                    • @corky: No worries. Just be on the look out for disinformation. We live in the age of it and anti-intellectualism.

                      I actually had a conversation with a person who argued that science and engineering was all garbage…..we were at 30,000ft on an aeroplane 🤔😂

                      • @Goremans: 🤣🤣 unbelievable. Did you engage in conversation after that comment? My son's almost finished his engineering degree. All i hear is science and engeering. 😁Be intetesting experiment to be in their head. Reminds me of flat earthers too why they don't take a compass and do an around the world trip.

    Ready for my one tablespoon worth after cooking. Cool.

    Spinch with a good dose of oxylates. Hard pass.

    • You may also want to skip avocados as well.

      The subject of oxalates is exaggerated - if anything.

      • +1

        Per half cup

        Spinach - 755mg
        Avocado - 10mg

        hardly comparable.

      • Tell that to someone with kidney stones!

    • +1

      Raw? Sure. But cooking spinach dramatically reduces oxylate content. Over exaggerated concern.

      • I'm guessing majority of people have spinach raw in salads (not me though, just saying)

        • Raw spinach is minimal at best in salads. Few leaves instead of half a bag.

  • Anyone know how much the big box of spinach is per g? I can't remember the price

    Time to stock up for Christmas

  • white person saag time

    • This is palak, saag is mustard leaves.

    If you have any markets around, it's worth a check. Spinach at Springvale Market in VIC is always $6.00/kg pick your own. :) Some fruits and veges are hit or miss at that market, but the spinach has been consistently fresh.

    Love a big bag of spinach.

  • gunna cart a bag.

    just got my delivery for a big bunch of https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/productdetails/147863/spi…

    otherwise wouldve gone 2 bags for sure

  • Probably gone all slimy like always. Do you peeps eat the slime or pick the leaves out?

    • +1

      I paid for that slime, so I'm damned well eating that slime
