Vegetables

Vegetables form the nutritional core of the Indian
diet — yet most Indians have no idea how much iron
is in palak, what drumstick leaves actually deliver,
or why the same brinjal can vary widely in
antioxidant content. This section provides the data.

Every article covers the complete nutritional
profile of Indian vegetables: calories,
macronutrients, key vitamins and minerals, glycemic
impact, and the effect of cooking methods on
nutrient retention. Sourced from ICMR-NIN IFCT 2017
data covering Indian varieties specifically — not
Western databases that miss desi vegetables
entirely. From everyday bhindi and lauki to
underrated powerhouses like moringa and raw banana.
