Mustard Greens (saag) Recipe
Sarson saag is mustard greens cooked down with spinach and fenugreek. Pungent and slightly bitter, mustard greens stimulate agni and balance kapha and vata, and pitta types should keep portions moderate.
Ayurveda notes
Mustard greens (sarson) are pungent and slightly bitter in taste. This quality stimulates the digestive fire (Agni) and aids in expelling toxins (ama) from the body. Sarson is known to balance Kapha and Vata doshas due to its warming and light attributes.
While sarson is beneficial for many, individuals with dominant Pitta dosha should consume it in moderation due to its warming nature. It's also advisable to prepare mustard greens with cooling ingredients such as ghee and/or spices to balance its heating property.
• Opt for vibrant green, crisp leaves, indicating freshness. • Steer clear from wilted or yellowing leaves. • Ensure they're free from any blemishes or pests.
