Can I measure Spinach, frozen, chopped by count instead of cups?

Count is unreliable when piece size varies. For accuracy, weigh a few pieces to find the average, then multiply.

Does substituting fresh Spinach, frozen, chopped for frozen change the gram reading?

Yes — frozen pieces carry ice crystals that add 5–10 % to the cup reading. Drain thoroughly after thaw before weighing to match fresh values.
