About Pui shak
Pui Shak, also known as Malabar Spinach, is a vibrant, leafy green vegetable popular in Bengali, Indian, and Southeast Asian cuisines. Native to tropical Asia, it thrives in warm climates and is recognized for its glossy, heart-shaped leaves and tender stem. This nutrient-dense vegetable is an excellent source of vitamins A and C, iron, calcium, and essential antioxidants, promoting healthy skin, strong bones, and a robust immune system. Its high fiber content aids digestion and supports gut health, while being naturally low in calories makes it an ideal choice for weight management. Pui Shak is commonly prepared in light stir-fries, curries, or lentil-based dishes, often paired with mustard seeds or shrimp for flavor. However, individuals prone to kidney stones should consume it in moderation due to its oxalate content. Whether as a main ingredient or a supplement to meals, Pui Shak adds both nutrition and a unique texture to dishes.
