Ten ounces of frozen spinach is about 4 servings
of Gerbers/Beechnut for a one year old.
Whenever frozen veggies are on sale I'll buy two ten ounce packages of
each... to us one ten ounce package of veggies is one serving,
especially spinach. After cooking a ten ounce package of spinach is
barely 3/4 cup. Frozen veggies are mostly H2O. We eat most veggies
raw, raw spinach is great in a salad. About the only frozen veggies
we buy are corn and peas. Fresh greens are available all the time.
especially in winter... if no spinach we'll buy collards.
