Spinach (frozen, thawed squeezed)

Spinach is a leafy green vegetable with tender leaves and a mild, slightly earthy flavour, eaten raw in salads or cooked, where it wilts down dramatically in volume. It is sautéed, steamed, or added to soups, pastas, and pies, and its high water content means a large volume of raw spinach reduces considerably once cooked. Baby spinach leaves are more tender and milder than mature spinach.

Freezing can cause an ingredient to clump or trap air unevenly, which slightly changes how it packs into a measuring cup compared with fresh.
