About Pala keerai
Pala Keerai, commonly known as spinach in Tamil cuisine, is a nutrient-rich leafy green widely used in South Indian cooking. Packed with vitamins A, C, and K, along with essential minerals like iron, calcium, and potassium, it's celebrated for promoting eye health, strengthening bones, and supporting overall immunity. Loaded with dietary fiber, spinach aids digestion and helps in maintaining a healthy weight. Its antioxidant properties contribute to reducing oxidative stress and improving cardiovascular health. Pala Keerai is versatile, finding its way into dals, stir-fries, and soups. Steaming or lightly sautéing preserves its nutrients best, while overcooking can lead to some nutrient loss. While generally healthy, portion control is advised for individuals prone to kidney stones due to the oxalates present in spinach. A staple in many Tamil households, Pala Keerai brings flavor and nourishment to a balanced diet.
