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.
