About Indian spinach

Indian Spinach, also known as Malabar spinach or Basella alba, is a nutrient-rich leafy green widely used in Indian and Southeast Asian cuisine. Unlike traditional spinach, it has thick, fleshy leaves and a slightly earthy, tangy flavor, making it a versatile addition to curries, stir-fries, and soups. Packed with vitamins A, C, and iron, Indian Spinach is celebrated for its ability to support eye health, immunity, and red blood cell production. Its high fiber content aids digestion, while antioxidants help combat inflammation. Indian Spinach is naturally low in calories and fat, making it a great choice for weight management or heart-healthy diets. However, individuals prone to kidney stones should enjoy it in moderation due to its oxalate content. A staple in many traditional dishes, Indian Spinach brings both robust nutrition and vibrant color to the table, making it a cherished ingredient in global cooking.
