Little Bear Launches New Spinach Item Designed to Handle Heat of the Kitchen

Oct 28, 2025

Little Bear Produce, an Edinburg, TX-based grower-shipper known for delivering fresh, high-quality vegetables, has launched a specially grown teen spinach designed not just for salads, but for the pan, the pot and the blender.

Marketed under the name Cooking with Spinach, the new product is unlike traditional salad spinach in that it is tender yet hearty, and grown to hold up under heat while maintaining great flavor and texture.

“This isn’t just salad spinach,” said Barrett Ortego, value-added sales manager at Little Bear Produce. “Cooking with Spinach is purposefully grown for versatility. Whether you’re sautéing, blending into smoothies, or adding to soups, it’s ready to perform and makes healthy cooking easier than ever.”

Cooking with Spinach is pre-washed, ready to use and is ideal for busy shoppers looking for quick, nutritious meals. It is high in antioxidants and vitamins A and C, is an excellent source of vitamin K for bone health, and is rich in Folate (B9) for energy and cell support

In line with consumer demand for fast, wholesome meals, the product features modern packaging with a large window to showcase freshness, plus a QR code linking to “3 Minute Meals” recipes. The campaign highlights just how simple and delicious cooking with spinach can be.

“Shoppers want convenience without compromise,” said Jeff Brechler, chief of sales and marketing at Little Bear. “With Cooking with Spinach, they can skip prep time and go straight to creating healthy, flavorful meals in minutes.”

Cooking with Spinach is available in the fresh-cut bagged greens section at select retailers nationwide.
