Happy to buy by the KG if needed. I want to make steamed spinach pucks for smoothies, since they're something I can freeze happy to buy in bulk.
Costco: $9.99/kg
Coles & Woolies: $25.00/kg
Rods Fruit & Veg: $1.99/100g $19.99/kg
Earthymama $29.99/1.5kg $19.99/kg
With spices I generally order off of eBay for the best quality/quantity - what's the deal with fresh vegetables? Asian grocer?
Good idea, I'll update thread with price here. Thanks!
Make sure to include min. purchase requirements, freight, etc.
Costco from what I've seen.
Not sure what the equivilent is for Flemington markets in VIC but worth checking fresh produce markets.
Do inspect the quality and you can always negotiate price with the producer.
Good idea, maybe buying chopped spinach is the way to go instead. Wonder how steaming that would go..
I've cooked with the frozen spinach pucks and they come out quite nicely, I imagine steaming them would yield the satisfactory results.
Maybe buy one to give it a try? They can come from a variety of countries and processed to different levels of "chopped/minced"

This is the one I used to buy, my son would go through at least one pack a week when he was a baby…
Mmm, spinach from China
Baby Bunting!!!
how is costco so cheap ?
It is probably loose leaf in a huge box. My local fruit/veggie market has the same price of $9.99/kg….. given that people stick their hands in there etc I get the Aldi prepacked as noted below.
thanks
cheapest I found is at Coles Frozen foods isle. I think it was a product of the Netherlands. I am not sure whether a Coles brand one available.
Does anyone know the cheapest place to buy "Ceylon Spinach" ?
ceylon spinach
do you realise that stuff is not spinach? i've got it growing in my backyard and it is a huge vine which self-seeds prolifically
I always thought that they are two varieties of spinach. After your comment, I checked the scientific names and they seem to be totally different plants. Anyway, I only like Ceylon or Malabar one and it is harder to find in VIC and expensive.
Costco is good value but you really need to freeze at least half of it unless you are having multiple green smoothies every day.
If you don't have Costco nearby or no membership then next best is Aldi, the large 4 servings pack at $3.99 per 300g = $13.30/ kg
you making palak paneer?
Seeds! then wait 16 weeks
I'd have to pay for a place that gets sun then.. I think that might break the bank.
Be careful of eating too much spinach regularly - oxilates.
Springvale Asian grocer. $8/$9 for 1.5kg box of Lowe farm.
Not sure of the price, but worth contacting:
