Clever. Freezing will tenderize, since the expanded water breaks the leaves
from the inside out.

For greens, I'd have to agree.. one of the best frozen products. Every
restaurant I've worked used frozen spinach for everything except salad.
Amazingly, they used fresh chard to make what was virtually creamed-spinach,
substituting fresh chard. Peas were another product typically purchased
frozen.
