Highlights

  • 7g fiber per serving
    From three leafy greens, not just spinach
  • High in iron & folate
    From mustard greens and spinach
  • Fully plant-based
    No cream, no butter, no shortcuts

What to Expect

Earthy, slightly bitter from the mustard greens, balanced by warm cumin and ginger. Silky texture, not pureed to baby-food smoothness.

Dietary Info

  • Vegan
  • Gluten-Conscious

Made With Care

  • Three-leaf blend
  • No cream or butter
  • Whole-spice tempering

Most saag at restaurants is just spinach. Ours is a real blend: spinach for body, mustard greens for the mineral bite, and fenugreek leaves for the back-of-the-tongue depth that defines the dish at home. We finish with a tempering of cumin seeds, ginger, and a single chili — no cream, no butter.

It's one of the most nutrient-dense plates on the menu: iron, calcium, folate, vitamin K, and a real fiber load.
