About Arai keerai

Arai Keerai, commonly known as Amaranth Greens, is a nutrient-rich leafy vegetable widely used in South Indian cuisine. Its tender leaves and stems offer a mild, earthy flavor, making it a versatile addition to dishes like stir-fries, soups, and curries. Packed with essential nutrients, Arai Keerai is an excellent source of iron, calcium, and vitamins A and C, promoting healthy skin, improved immunity, and stronger bones. It is also rich in dietary fiber, aiding digestion and maintaining gut health. The plant contains antioxidants and phytonutrients that reduce inflammation and support overall well-being. While Arai Keerai offers numerous health benefits, moderate consumption is advised for individuals prone to kidney stones due to its natural oxalate content. Highly prized in traditional medicine, this leafy green adds both nutritional value and flavor to meals, making it a staple in wholesome diets across the region.
