Curry leaves, native to the Indian subcontinent, are an aromatic staple in South Asian and Indian cuisines. These small, vibrant green leaves are packed with nutrients, including vitamins A, B, C, and E, along with calcium, iron, and fiber. Known for their earthy, slightly citrusy flavor, they are often used fresh or dried to season dishes like dals, curries, and rice. Beyond flavor, curry leaves boast health benefits: they support digestion, may improve blood sugar regulation, and are rich in antioxidants that help combat oxidative stress. Additionally, the leaves are said to promote healthy hair and skin. While curry leaves are naturally low in calories and fat, their health benefits can depend on how they are prepared or combined with other ingredients. Used sparingly, they not only elevate a dish’s flavor but also provide a boost of nutrients in a variety of recipes.
