This prized, and native Indian leafy green is cosnidered a must-have food in the winter season. It is packed full of vitamins, minerals, and trace elements, which make it a true superfood. As a relative of amaranth, it is extremely easy to grow (both in-ground and in containers) and leaves and buds can be regularly harvested to use in salads, raitas or as a spinach substitute. Bathua seeds are also edible and are an equally nutrient-rich delicacy, used just like amaranth grains (rajgira). Unfortunately, a lack of awareness and decreasing demand is making bathua harder to find in city markets! Grow it yourself, share the abundance with your community, and kee the tradition of eating the amazing superfood alive in our country!
