Quite interesting, thanks.

I wonder if the spinach she bought was grown in salty soil? Because if I remember correctly, the sodium content was only like .03%. We're going to the grocery store in a few hours so I am going to double check that. That to me didn't seem to be enough to cause this spinach to taste like that. But it was very salty. Didn't even taste like any spinach I have ever eaten...

Maybe we should try another package. Perhaps it was an isolated incident, of some grown in sandy soil.... I know she misses her spinach and has not bought any since. Japanese diets tend to have much less salt than ours, and shes a walking salt detector. I have to really be careful with salt in my cooking, or she won't eat it.

So thanks for the info. We will pick up another package tonight and see how it is...
