Saag is a flavorful dish originating from South Asian cuisine, particularly popular in India and Pakistan. It is made using leafy greens such as spinach, mustard greens, or fenugreek, which are cooked down with aromatic spices like turmeric, cumin, garlic, and ginger. Sometimes enriched with paneer (Indian cottage cheese) or meat, saag boasts a creamy texture and a nutrient-dense profile. Packed with vitamins A, C, and K, iron, and fiber, it promotes good digestion, supports immunity, and aids in maintaining healthy skin and bones. However, depending on preparation, saag can also contain added butter, cream, or ghee, which may increase its saturated fat content. Traditionally enjoyed with naan or roti, saag is a hearty and wholesome dish that combines earthy flavors with numerous health benefits.
