Recipe calls for two packages of frozen spinach. What amount of fresh spinach leaves is this?

Each box of frozen spinach is 10 ozs. That is a heck of alot of fresh spinach. You're talking about needing 20 ozs. after you cook it down. You'll need at least 4 large bags of fresh spinach..at least 20 cups. (I admit, I'm guessing). You'd be better of going to market and buying the frozen. Your recipe will be more accurate, and cost efficient. A box of frozen spianch is only around a dollar or so.Recipe calls for two packages of frozen spinach.

One pound of fresh spinich will yeild 1 cup cooked or 5 ounces. figure how many ounces are in the frozen variety and go from there. Realistically, it may be more cost effective to use the frozen spinich. Frozen spinich is just as good as fresh because of the processes used lock in flavor and the nutrients and vitamins that canning doesn't.Recipe calls for two packages of frozen spinach.

a boatload because spinach just wilts right down. Frozen is delisious and nutriciuos and probably more cost effective as well.
It's A LOT. I don't know how much but it takes a lot. Try cooking one bag of spinach and see what you end up with. Not much.
