Here in Nepal, we’re blessed with an abundance of fresh, leafy greens, locally known as Saag. From the ubiquitous Paalungo (Spinach) to the peppery Rayoko Saag (Mustard Greens) and beyond, these humble greens are a staple in our diets.
But often, we see them as just a simple side dish. What if we told you that the saag on your plate is one of the most powerful superfoods you can eat?
At Tiun Tarkari, we deliver fresh saag straight from the farm because we believe in their power to build health. Let’s break down why you should make these greens a daily priority.
Saag is densely packed with essential nutrients. It’s an excellent source of:
Forget just drinking milk! The combination of Vitamin K, calcium, and magnesium found in leafy greens like Lahare Saag (Amaranth) works synergistically to build and maintain strong, healthy bones, helping to prevent osteoporosis later in life.
Feeling sluggish? The high iron content in saag helps in the formation of hemoglobin, which carries oxygen throughout your body. More oxygen means more energy. Pair your saag with a squeeze of lemon (Vitamin C) to enhance iron absorption!
Packed with dietary fiber, saag helps regulate your digestive system, preventing constipation and promoting a healthy gut microbiome. A happy gut is linked to improved mood, immunity, and overall health.
Our bodies are constantly fighting damage from free radicals. The antioxidants in greens like Chamsur (Watercress) and Methi (Fenugreek Leaves) act as a shield, reducing inflammation and lowering the risk of chronic diseases.
Knowing the benefits is one thing; enjoying them is another. Here’s a classic, easy-to-make recipe for Sadeko Saag that lets the fresh flavor shine.

The nutritional value of saag starts to decline the moment it’s harvested. That’s why freshness isn’t just about taste—it’s about health.
When you order Leafy Greens from Tiun Tarkari, you’re getting saag that was recently picked from our partner farms, not something that has spent days in transit and storage. We ensure you get the most nutrients and flavor, delivered directly to your kitchen.
