What it is
This is a package of pre-chopped spinach that has been frozen. The spinach is washed and cut into small pieces, making it convenient for cooking. Freezing helps to preserve the spinach's texture and flavor until you are ready to use it. It is a versatile vegetable that can be incorporated into many different dishes.
How people cook with it

To use the frozen chopped spinach, you can typically add it directly to your cooking. For most recipes, it can be added while still frozen. The spinach will thaw and cook as the dish heats up. If you need to thaw it beforehand, you can place it in a colander and run cool water over it, or let it sit at room temperature for a short period. Squeeze out any excess water before adding it to recipes that require a drier texture, such as baked goods or fillings.
How it differs from similar foods
Unlike fresh spinach, frozen chopped spinach is already prepared, saving you washing and chopping time. It also has a longer shelf life when kept frozen. The texture may be slightly softer than fresh spinach after cooking due to the freezing process.

How to keep the rest
