ALUGBATI RED VEGETABLE SEEDS
Alugbati is also known as basella, Malabar spinach, Indian spinach or vine spinach. It has dark green leaves similar to regular spinach but with Red stems. It grows in a vining rather than bush pattern and has a slightly more fibrous texture than regular spinach. It can be cooked in the same way and, like spinach, is a good source of a number of essential nutrients, including iron.
Alugbati is rapidly gaining popularity worldwide. Also known as Malabar spinach or basella, this leafy green vegetable packs a hefty nutritional punch. With just 19 calories per serving, it fills you up quickly without adding inches to your waist. It's quite similar to spinach, offering a mix of fiber, vitamin A, vitamin C, iron, calcium and antioxidants. Depending on your preferences, you can add it to salads, smoothies, vegetable dishes, soups and other homemade meals.
