Barb, so far this is the only info I've found

1 pound cooked spinach = 1 1/2 cups

But I'm still searching!

Hmm. is that 1 1/2 cups cooked spinach?
That could be helpful. Except I don't have any frozen spinach to look at the serving sizes. Have to go to the grocery store later though, so that may work out! Thanks for looking Mog!

Yes, if you cook 1 pound of spinach you'll get 1 1/2 cups when you're done. They didn't word that very well did they? That was the only info I could find..I searched with msn, google and ask jeeves!

16 oz = 1 lb
So 2 9oz packages is a little over a lb.

I have not a clue but you just gave me a craving for spinach dip but I can't remember everything that goes in it? or if it's legal

Yeah, but the frozen spinach is already cooked and does not weigh the same as the fresh. Fresh spinach cooks down to nothing! LOL.

Pladd, here ya go! It's legal!


KNORR SPINACH DIP
1 (10 oz.) pkg. frozen chopped spinach, thawed (do not use fresh)
1 1/2 c. sour cream
1 c. mayonnaise (I use Hellmann's)
1 (4 oz.) pkg. Knorr vegetable soup mix
1 (8 oz.) can water chestnuts, finely chopped
3 green onions, finely chopped

This is just a math problem.

1. weigh out 1 pound fresh spinach.
2. boil it
3. drain it
4. weigh it again in oz.
Divide 9 oz by that weight and multiply by 16 to get amount in pounds needed.

According to the USDA chopped frozen spinach a 10 ounce package has the same carbs and cals as 12.55 cups of raw spinach

Ohh, didn't see that 2big! OK, so 12 1/2 cups. Let me look at my bag.

Re: Frozen Spinach... anybody REALLY know?

OK, my 9 oz bag says
Serving size about 4 cups raw
Servings per container about 3
So my 9oz bag would be 12 cups.
But when I cook it down it is no where near the amount of spinach in a 9 or 10 oz frozen box of spinach??
