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.

How this conversion works
Milliliters measure volume while grams measure weight. Because Spinach (Raw, Chopped) has a density of 0.13 g/mL, 10 mL weighs 1 g — not 10 g as it would for water. This converter uses the real density of Spinach (Raw, Chopped) so every measurement is accurate.
Measurement notes
Values are rounded to the nearest whole gram. Actual weight can vary slightly with compaction, temperature, and brand. For precision baking, a kitchen scale is always more reliable than volume measurements.

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.
