"Canned spinach may not compare to cooking it fresh, but it is a lifesaver and a penny saver for effortless meals on a budget. We sampled five different canned spinach brands from major grocery stores, ranking each can according to flavor, texture, quantity, and price. While the contenders all had similar flavors and textures, the Great Value brand from Walmart beat out the competition in price and quantity of product."
"Where many cans contained nearly as much water as greens, Great Value spinach was filled to the brim with spinach. It was also the second cheapest option of the group. Considering how much spinach was in each can, we might consider it the cheapest price for the quantity. Walmart customers seem to agree with our ranking with plenty of 5-star reviews on the company's website. One customer wrote that the spinach is "cleaner than ever before, no twigs or stems. I've eaten hundreds of cans.""
Five major canned spinach brands were compared for flavor, texture, quantity, and price. The Great Value brand from Walmart scored highest based on price and quantity and a superior spinach-to-water ratio. Great Value spinach was well seasoned and tender, and contained noticeably more greens than many other brands, often filling the can to the brim. Customer reviews praise cleanliness, lack of stems, preserved color, texture, and flavor. Canned spinach can be added to ramen, Tuscan white bean soup, Italian wedding soup, frittatas, scrambled eggs, or omelets to boost texture and nutrients.
