About Palak keerai

Palak Keerai, a blend of spinach (palak) and amaranth leaves (keerai), is a nutrient-dense leafy green dish rooted in Indian cuisine, particularly South India. This vibrant, earthy preparation is rich in essential vitamins like A, C, and K, along with minerals such as iron, calcium, and potassium, supporting healthy vision, bone strength, and improved immunity. It's also an excellent source of antioxidants and dietary fiber, aiding digestion and combating oxidative stress. Typically cooked with minimal oil and flavored with spices such as cumin, garlic, and chili, Palak Keerai is low in calories yet highly satisfying. However, its nutritional value can vary based on preparation methods—adding excessive oil or cream for richness may increase fat content. Naturally gluten-free and versatile, it’s a wholesome side dish for rice or flatbreads, making it a popular choice for balanced, plant-based diets.
