About Siru keerai

Siru Keerai, also known as Amaranthus Polygonoides, is a leafy green vegetable widely used in South Indian cuisine. Native to India, it holds a significant place in traditional diets due to its rich nutritional profile and medicinal properties. Packed with essential nutrients like iron, calcium, vitamins A and C, and dietary fiber, Siru Keerai supports better digestion, immunity, and bone health. Its high iron content makes it beneficial for combating anemia, while its natural antioxidants help neutralize harmful free radicals in the body. Low in calories and free of cholesterol, it is ideal for weight management and heart health. However, individuals prone to kidney stones or with high uric acid levels should consume it in moderation due to its oxalate content. This versatile green is typically enjoyed in dishes like kootu, poriyal, or dal, offering both nutritional goodness and delightful flavor to meals.
