About Sag

Sag, commonly referred to as “saag,” is a nutrient-rich dish often made with leafy greens such as spinach, mustard greens, or fenugreek. It has its origins in Indian cuisine and is a staple in many North Indian and Punjabi households, frequently paired with flatbreads like roti or naan. Sag is rich in vitamins A, C, and K, along with essential minerals like calcium and iron, making it excellent for bone health, immunity, and overall wellbeing. Traditionally, it’s prepared with spices including ginger, garlic, turmeric, and chili, which add flavor and antioxidants. While sag is healthy, it can occasionally be high in fat depending on the use of ghee, cream, or oil during preparation. To maximize its health benefits, opt for lighter cooking methods and pair it with whole grains or lean protein for a balanced meal.
