500 grams (10 cups) of raw spinach yields only about 1 cup of cooked spinach
It is not very appetizing on its own so the best advice we have it to make a big batch and freeze in ice cubes tray and then mix it with other single purees in order to give you baby variety. It goes well with apple puree, carrot puree, banana puree, mango puree, pumpkin puree
When mixing, for any 1 ice cube of spinach, add 3 ice cubes of any other puree you are using
For baby-led weaning serve it cooked and chopped
