raw spinach

Salad green, unwilted

Raw spinach is spinach leaves eaten uncooked, typically in salads or smoothies.

The term distinguishes fresh leaves from cooked preparations, where spinach wilts dramatically: I prefer raw spinach to the cooked stuff.

Raw spinach retains a mild, slightly earthy flavor and crisp texture that cooking eliminates.
