Cheera (Green or Red)

Product Overview:
Amaranth Leaves, commonly known as Cheera, are among the most versatile and nutritious leafy greens available. Sourced from local sustainable farms, our leaves are harvested while young to ensure succulent stems and a melt-in-the-mouth texture. The Green variety offers a mild, buttery flavor, while the Red variety (Lal Cheera) provides a slightly nuttier taste and a boost of natural antioxidants. Both varieties are highly prized in wellness diets for their ability to naturally improve digestion and boost energy levels.

Key Features:

Tender & Rapid-Cooking: Selected at the peak of freshness so both leaves and stems cook down quickly and evenly.

Dual Variety Choice: Available in Green (mild/buttery) and Red (crimson/nutty), allowing you to add color and variety to your plate.

SQA Monitored Selection: Every bunch is hand-inspected for crispness, vibrant leaf color, and the absence of wilting or insects (SQA Checked).

Farm-to-Table Quality: Harvested and delivered rapidly to preserve high moisture and vital nutrient content.
