I have been using Corinne Netzer's book "Carbohydrate Counter" for over 7 years. I find that it is quite accurate. For frozen spinach it lists Green Giant 3/4 cup as 3.0 carbs, Birds Eye 1/3 cup 3.0, Seabrook 1/3 cup 2.0 and Green Giant in butter sauce 1/2 cup 5.0. I find that these old time books are the most accurate in carb counts since they were done before the carb craze really got started and they had no reason to lie. I have found that a lot of the new books inflate carb counts and I wonder if that has anything to do with the manufacturers buying them off to put their products as lower carb than others? I think spinach is great for low carb. It has a lot of vitamins and a lot of fiber and seems to help with a few of the problems that many people associate with low carbing.
Good luck, and keep 'eating spinach cause it makes you strong to the finish...'
