A handful! Not the entire package. And I buy bags of frozen leaf spinach,
not the chopped frozen "blocks" :)

For spinach in Omelets, I like to use the pre-packaged, pre-washed,
fresh baby spinach leaves for salads...... :-) They "melt" down quickly
and are OH so good! They can also be quickly pre-steamed in the m-wave
if you worry about them not being wilted enough.

Much better than canned IMHO! ;-d

Canned spinach - UGH! I never know when I'll want spinach so I tend not to
buy the fresh stuff unless I have a specific plan in mind for using it the
same day or the next. But I'm sure it's wonderful in omelets!

Better than canned OR frozen. Blech! But I love fresh spinach, either in
salads, or gently sauteed.
