Content: Manufacturers have already briefly cooked or blanched the leaves to help wilt them down. That process keeps the leaves green and prolongs the freshness when frozen. Defrosting frozen spinach
The easiest way to defrost the greens is in the microwave on medium power. This gently melts the ice. The leaves should still be chilled, making it easy to squeeze out the excess water. Do not heat them up too much, otherwise, they’ll become mushy. Can you use fresh spinach instead of frozen? Yes, fresh spinach can be substituted for frozen spinach. You will need 8 ounces (about 6 cups) of fresh leaves. Make sure to briefly cook the spinach to wilt the leaves.
