To feed 8 people, you'll need about 2 to 3 pounds of cooked spinach. Generally, cooked spinach reduces significantly in volume, so plan for approximately 1/4 to 1/3 pound per person.

Spinach should be boiled for about 1-2 minutes for optimal cooking.
Typically, 2-3 spinach seeds should be planted per hole.
I would get 20 pounds.

Spinach should be cooked for about 3-5 minutes until it is wilted and bright green to be perfectly done.
