It arrives pre-cut and frozen in 3 LB packs, so a cook can pull exactly what a recipe calls for and keep the rest in the freezer. Baker's Authority sells it by the case of 12\/3 LB and offers it in bulk and wholesale quantities for restaurants, bakeries, caterers, and institutional kitchens.\u003c\/p\u003e\n  \u003cbr\u003e\n  \u003cdiv class=\"full_description\"\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat It Is\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eThis is chopped spinach that has been frozen for foodservice use, packed in 3 LB units and sold twelve to a case. Chopping before freezing means the leaves are already broken down to a fine, even cut, which is the texture most cooked spinach applications want. Fresh spinach loses most of its volume once it hits heat, so a 3 LB pack of frozen chopped spinach represents a large quantity of cooked-down leaves in a compact, ready-to-use form.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTexture and Flavor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eFrozen chopped spinach has a soft, tender texture once heated and a mild, earthy flavor that takes well to garlic, cream, cheese, lemon, and nutmeg. Because it is chopped fine, it blends evenly into batters, fillings, and sauces rather than leaving long strands, and it adds a strong green color to anything it goes into.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCulinary Uses\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eChopped spinach is a standard ingredient across a wide range of dishes in a commercial kitchen.

For soups, stews, and sauces, it can go into the pot directly from frozen and break apart as it heats. Season after cooking, since the flavor is mild and takes on whatever it is paired with.\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cbr\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n    \u003cp\u003eKeep frozen until ready to use.
