1. both look the same after they are cooked

2. spincah and other greens are good for HGB, bad if you have a
tendency to suffer from gout

Not exactly the same, but close. And I just ate an orange for dessert.
Gotta have that Vit-C to absorb and utilize the iron in the spinach!
(I paid attention in my Nutrition class!!)

This is true, plus I've never seen chopped fresh spinach offered for
sale except for the garbage in those plastic pouches. However whole
leaf frozen spinach is also readily available. Unless one is going to
be eating spinach raw I don't see the point in buying fresh, not if
you're going to cook it And unless you have your own spinach patch to
pick frozen is fresher than those dirty old leaves from the
stupidmarket produce section... and even far worse is the bagged.
Frozen costs less too, a lot less due to no waste. Before I'll buy so
called stupidmarket fresh I'll buy canned, works very well in soups.

I like buying those "dirty old leaves" from my local Farmer's Market,
but the season's over for that, so frozen it is now until Spring!

When I was a child, the only green veggie I'd happily eat was cooked
spinach, which I loved.

It's available here in blocks, just like whole leaf, national brands
like BirdsEye too.

The bagged stuff is fine, just pricey.

Canned spinach is repulsive. I often wondered what kind of person
would eat it. Now I know.
