Volumetric conversion between frozen and fresh spinach
I like to freeze my spinach and use it in smoothies. When I bring it out of the freezer, I crush it as much as I can. I then measure it out in 2 cup quantities. How much would this equal in fresh spinach. Thanks in advance.
Best Answer
Best to use a scale. Measure how much fresh spinach you normally use and use the same weight for frozen. Moisture content for frozen spinach may be slightly less than fresh but it should not matter that much. There are very few occasions when volume measurements are actually necessary and a weight measurement is not appropriate.

How much frozen spinach equals fresh spinach?
One package (10 ounces) of frozen spinach leaves yields about 1-1/2 cups after cooking. Therefore, you can substitute 1 package (10 ounces) frozen spinach leaves for 1-1/2 pounds of fresh spinach.Can you substitute fresh spinach for frozen spinach?
Add fresh spinach leaves and cook for 3-4 minutes. (If using water instead of oil, no need to heat the water first.) Drain extra water/oil from the spinach using a colander. You'll be left with about 1 and 1/2 cups of cooked down spinach, which you can substitute for a 10-ounce package of frozen spinach in a recipe.How much does one cup of frozen spinach weigh?
