In France one can buy fresh winter spinach, but that is noted on packages and can only be recognised by the shape of the leaves (large, crumpled). No category for this as yet;
 +
 +
The '''Frozen spinachs''' category could be divided in frozen as a single block or as cubes.
 +
 +
The '''Canned spinachs''' category can be divided in two subcategories: plain (no added ingredients) and prepared (some ingredients added, but not cream). It is not directly clear from the packaging what product belongs to what subcategory. So a division seems not in place.
 +
 +
The Cooked Spinachs category has been commented out, as there are no products for this category. However all canned and frozen spinachs seem to be blanched, but this is hard to find on the packaging.

Sub-categories

In France one can buy fresh winter spinach, but that is noted on packages and can only be recognised by the shape of the leaves (large, crumpled). No category for this as yet;

The Frozen spinachs category could be divided in frozen as a single block or as cubes.

The Canned spinachs category can be divided in two subcategories: plain (no added ingredients) and prepared (some ingredients added, but not cream). It is not directly clear from the packaging what product belongs to what subcategory. So a division seems not in place.

The Cooked Spinachs category has been commented out, as there are no products for this category. However all canned and frozen spinachs seem to be blanched, but this is hard to find on the packaging.
