stephanie tantillo has the tip of the day. >> reporter: hey everybody. talk we're going to talk about spinach. remember, it's absolutely fabulous for you. it's a great source of finer and a great source of other vitamins. very important. when you see spinach in the market, i love loose leaf spinach because that means the leaves are able to breathe. you want to make sure you don't see a lot of yellowing. predominantly it has a deep, green color and the leaves are nice and crisp. when they wilt, you get a strong odor. so give it a little bit of a whiff. it should smell nice and fresh. when you bring it home, store it. i like to store it in a paper towel and wrap it up or keep it as open as possible. and wash it only before you use it. that being said because the water will wilt it quicker. you use it. and it's one of my favorite things to saute but two cups cooked. don't overcrowd the pan but have a lot onhand. and do it in batches. >>> when we come back, the journey to rio. >>> finally, there are some new faces at bronx zoo. they made the debut in the pop
