Nutritional data has not been calculated yet.It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.

Do follow the directions to "cut in" the butter - makes a lovely dense, cakey muffin. Recipe left out to mix the suger into the flour mixture for preparation, though.
