Frozen spinach is one of the most versatile and easy of all frozen vegetables to use, and is a very handy standby. Unlike many green vegetables, spinach stands up well to freezing and loses very little flavor and texture on thawing or cooking. Chopped spinach can be added straight from the freezer to enrich hearty soups. With poached eggs and a creamy sauce it makes great eggs dishes and it adds a colorful green layer to a fish pie. But it is best to thaw it before blending it into a root vegetable puree, then heat the puree for a few minutes to warm through quickly.
