Ingredient Information

Frozen Spinach

In most cooked recipes frozen spinach works just fine. The time you spend to clean, rinse and cook fresh spinach is not worth the difference in flavor in a dish like soup, stuffed shells or quiche.

When cooking recipes like the shells or quiche place the thawed spinach in a strainer and press with a spoon to squeeze out the excess water. For soup the extra water won't matter all that much. (See Fresh Spinach.)
