Frozen spinach consists of blanched spinach leaves that are quickly frozen, sold as compact blocks or loose leaves. Once thawed it has a tender, finely chopped texture and a deep green color, making it easy to work into fillings, sauces, soups, and smoothies. Common retail forms include chopped blocks and loose leaf portions with no added seasoning.

Spinach likely originated in ancient Persia and spread through Asia and Europe; commercial freezing in the 20th century made spinach a convenient year-round staple. Today it features widely in North American and European cooking, especially for pastries, pasta dishes, and creamy sides.
