When it comes to coloring your plate green, “Indian greens give us a lot of choice and a variety of preparations to make sure monotony doesn’t trouble us. This feeds us with plenty of antioxidants, vitamins and minerals along with fiber; all vital in all phases of life,” says Priya Jain, Dietician, P D Hinduja National Hospital & MRC, Mumbai. Well, if you are anticipating something familiar like palak, pudina, the results might surprise you! There’s more to explore.

P.S: Be sure you clean all the greens thoroughly before use. Do not chop them and then wash. Do it the other way to gain maximum nutritional benefits. Avoid as much exposure to light and air after cutting, and use them immediately.
