Frozen spinach leaves will defrost quickly at room temperature or by submerging the sealed freezer bag in water. If you are using the spinach to make a smoothie, soup, or add to a cooked dish such as a casserole or curry, you can add it straight from frozen without thawing. The spinach will release some moisture as it defrosts during cooking so you may have to adjust the liquid content of your recipe or increase the cooking time. If you are adding the spinach to a baked dish, quiche, or batter, defrost it first, drain off excess moisture and then add it to the rest of the ingredients as the additional liquid will change the consistency of the batter.
