Spinach (Raw, Chopped)

Raw spinach is 90% air and volume. A 'loose' cup weighs almost nothing (30g), while a 'packed' cup can hold three times that amount. In cooking, this volume collapses instantly. Weighing raw greens allows you to predict exactly how much finished product you'll have, without guessing how hard to press them into the cup.

FAQ

Raw vs. Cooked weight?

Spinach loses massive volume but retains weight (minus some water evaporation). 450g of raw spinach will cook down to a tiny cupful, but it is still 450g of vegetable mass. Measuring by weight helps you buy the right amount.
