Basically........ a bunch of spinach, including leaves & stalks weighs between 250 & 500 grams.... approximately half of that is the stems. So a bunch of "useable" spinach is approximately 125 - 250 grams. That doesn't really help :-( This reminds me of my Mother's hand-written cookbook......... example: bring to a boil, turn the gas down to a wee peep.... and cook until done. :-D

	A good handful or raw spinach will cook down to about 2 tsp...............I have just tried it :-D I cook a carrier bag full minus the stalks at least once a week and get about 2 mug fulls.............enough for about 4 generous portions. We have an allotment heaving with veg at the moment, so I am a bit of an expert ;-)

	No matter what size goes in the pan about a tablespoonful comes out. I had a recipe recently that called for frozen spinach which you have to pay for so I used nettles which you don't!
