Product Highlights

• 10 pound per can; 6 cans per case for 60 pounds total
• Fully cooked and ready to use straight from the can
• Leaf-style cut for better plate coverage and texture than chopped varieties
• Shelf-stable canned format reduces cold storage demands and waste from spoilage
• Consistent quality and yield across every case, ideal for standardized recipes

Preparation & Use

Open the can and drain the spinach well before adding to recipes; pressing gently against a colander removes excess liquid and prevents waterlogged dishes. For sautéed sides or dips, a quick squeeze in a clean towel draws out even more moisture and concentrates the flavor. Because the spinach is already fully cooked, it only needs to be heated through, not cooked further, so add it toward the end of soup or sauce preparation to preserve its color and texture. Each 10 pound can yields roughly 6 to 7 pounds of drained spinach, enough for approximately 25 to 30 standard half-cup servings.

Common Applications

Commodity Canned Spinach Leaf is widely used in institutional menu cycles as a cooked vegetable side, a recipe component in spinach lasagna and baked pasta, a base for cream of spinach soup, and a mix-in for breakfast egg bakes. Its bulk format and long shelf life make it a standard issue item in USDA commodity food programs, school lunch procurement, and disaster relief feeding operations.
