About Cup spinach
Cup spinach, also known as Malabar spinach or Basella alba, is a leafy green vegetable commonly found in tropical Asia and Africa, though its use has spread globally. Unlike traditional spinach, it thrives in hot climates and features tender, thick leaves with a mild, slightly earthy flavor. It's rich in essential nutrients, including vitamins A, C, and iron, making it excellent for supporting immunity, skin health, and red blood cell production. Cup spinach also provides magnesium, calcium, and dietary fiber, which aid in digestion and bone health. Low in calories and fat, it is a wholesome option for weight management. Its mucilaginous texture when cooked makes it popular in soups, stews, and curries, particularly in Southeast Asian and Indian cuisines. While highly nutritious, individuals sensitive to oxalates may want to moderate their intake. Cup spinach is a versatile and nutrient-packed addition to a healthy diet.
