So earlier this week I was making a point to eat all the food in my cupboar and in the very back of it I found canned spinach. I remember buying thisbecause one of my friends had told me his mom loves the stuff, she eats it right from the can. I love raw spinach,so I figured what the heck! Ill try it too. Finally got the nerve last night and it eas DISGUSTING! I then tried to wam it up, still gross. I also tried to season it eith spices. I could not get over the disgusting texture and taste. I am convinced now this has to maybe be used only in cooking and not just ate.
What do you do with canned spinach? I have one more can to use and am morally opposed to throwing it away. Is there any recipe you use canned spinach for? Thanks in advance.

Like @Juliaacv said, I would only use it to make a quiche. A friend likes it hot with melted cheese. I only like it raw in a salad.

I always thought I hated spinach because they served canned spinach with vinegar in school lunch. When I met fresh spinach I was very surprised indeed! Maybe melt cheese over it?

My oldest grandson used to like spinach straight out of the can, I can not say I have ever bought it or even tried it sounds rather disgusting to me.

I had it a lot growing up. I never had fresh spinach until a year ago. I haven't had canned spinach or any vegetable in many years now. It is totally disgusting, but one thing I did with canned spinach was add lemon juice and spices to it.

We eat the canned stuff sometimes. I heat it up on the stove with butter, garlic and onion.

1 cup canned spinach
1/2 cup grated cheese of your choice
1/4 cup chopped artichoke hearts (marinated ones from the jar)
Salt and black pepper to taste
Mix all these ingredients with a fork in a microwave safe bowl and microwave for 2 to three minutes. Serve/eat warm with nachos or any chips of your choice. Jalapeno peppers can be added if you want it more pungent.
I hope you like it :)
