Spinach, or Palak Saag in Hindi, is a leafy green vegetable known for its vibrant color and numerous health benefits. It has a mild, slightly earthy flavor and a tender texture when cooked. When raw, its leaves can be a bit fibrous and tough, but cooking softens them and brings out a subtle sweetness.Palak is particularly popular in Indian cuisine, where it's used in a variety of dishes. The most well-known dish is Palak Paneer, where the spinach is blended into a smooth, spiced gravy with chunks of paneer (Indian cottage cheese). Saag typically refers to any green leafy vegetable used in cooking, but when it's specifically spinach, it becomes a popular base for dishes like Sarson Da Saag (mustard greens), or just simple sautéed palak.
