About Sarson da saag

Sarson Da Saag is a traditional Punjabi dish from northern India, cherished for its rich flavors and wholesome ingredients. Made primarily with mustard greens, spinach, and bathua (white goosefoot), this nutrient-packed dish is seasoned with garlic, ginger, chilies, and ghee, giving it a distinctive earthy and spicy profile. Mustard greens are an excellent source of vitamins A, C, and K, along with antioxidants and dietary fiber, promoting heart health and digestion. Spinach adds additional iron and calcium, while the use of spices like ginger supports immunity and inflammation control. Typically served with Makki Ki Roti (corn flatbread), it is a hearty, warming meal ideal for colder months. However, its richness in ghee and occasional use of cream can increase its calorie and fat content, making portion control important for those watching their dietary intake. Sarson Da Saag embodies balanced nutrition wrapped in authentic Indian flavors.
