Can you refreeze thawed chopped spinach?

[LindsayDunn228]

I set out 2 boxes of chopped frozen spinach to use in a recipe. I misread it and only needed one. Can I refreeze it, or should I just toss it?? It wasn't completely thawed out or anything. Just had been out of the freezer for a few hours.

I know this is a duh question. Sorry!!

I re-freeze stuff like this all the time, but I write on the outside of the package, "for soup only". And, of course, I only use it in a non cream based soup at a later date. Chpped spinach goes great in vegatable soup or even in turkey soup.

I would either use it now or chuck it.

When in DOUBT....Throw it out!

Safety wise I think you're fine, but texture will be icky and it may not taste the best.

Buy a 16 ounce container of fat free sour cream, a package of dry Hidden Valley Ranch mix, and a can of chopped water chestnuts. Mix with the thawed and drained spinach and serve with veggies or wheat crackers, hardly any calories and yummy to boot.

The thawed package should be okay for a day in the fridge.

Thanks for all your help I chucked it because I really needed it in it's good form, IYKWIM.
