1. Either phrasing works fine -- just delete any hyphens. They're not needed here.
2. Sauerkraut, asparagus, spinach, persimmon, kiwifruit -- only "persimmon" would have an added -s to make it plural. All others have no separate plural form.
yogurt - American spelling
carton of milk - yes
half a dozen eggs (a carton of eggs would mean a dozen or sometimes 18)
a bag of frozen peas (no need for "deep")
All others here and in #3 are correct.
4. Yes, that's fine.
3.
