About Sayur genjer

Sayur Genjer is a traditional Indonesian vegetable dish made from genjer (Limnocharis flava), a leafy aquatic plant commonly found in wetlands. Popular in Javanese cuisine, it’s typically stir-fried with garlic, shallots, and chili, or cooked in a coconut milk-based sauce for added flavor. Genjer is nutrient-dense, boasting high levels of fiber, iron, calcium, and vitamins A and C. These nutrients support digestion, bone health, and immune function. Its low calorie and low-fat profile make it a great choice for those watching their weight. However, be mindful of preparation methods—some versions may include generous amounts of oil or salt, which can reduce its overall health benefits. Rich in plant-based nutrition and cultural history, Sayur Genjer is a beloved yet simple dish embodying the flavors and traditions of Indonesia.
