Spinach, Canned and Drained

EverydayCannedDrained

Canned and drained spinach is a preserved form of leafy greens that undergoes cooking and sterilization during canning, resulting in a softer texture and more muted flavor compared to fresh spinach. While the canning process reduces heat-sensitive nutrients like vitamin C, it retains significant calcium and iron content, though sodium levels are often elevated from added preservatives. This shelf-stable option is typically used in cooked dishes where its tender consistency blends well, such as soups or casseroles, and can be rinsed to reduce sodium before consumption.
