Health Benefits & Nutrition

Rajgira bhaji is known for being rich in iron, which is why many families include it regularly, especially for women or anyone dealing with low energy levels.
It also contains fibre, calcium, and vitamins that support overall health. One good thing about rajgira is that it naturally has some vitamin C as well, which helps the body absorb iron better.
It’s also considered a light and easy-to-digest green, which is why it’s often cooked simply and eaten as part of everyday meals.

How to Use & Storage

The most common way to cook rajgira bhaji is a simple stir-fry.
Just cook it with garlic, a little oil, green chilli, and salt. It cooks quickly and pairs well with chapati, bhakri, or even plain rice.
You can also add it to dal, mix it into khichdi, or use it in parathas if you want variety. Some people even make a light soup with it.
For storage, keep it in the fridge without washing. Wrap it loosely and use it within a few days for best taste and freshness. Wash it only before cooking.

What is rajgira bhaji in English?

Rajgira bhaji is the Marathi name for amaranth greens — the tender leaves and young stems of the Amaranthus plant. Known as chaulai in Hindi, it is one of India's most ancient and nutritionally respected leafy vegetables, distinct from the rajgira seeds (also from the amaranth plant) used in fasting foods and laddoos.

Is rajgira bhaji the same as the rajgira used for fasting?

They come from the same amaranth plant, but rajgira bhaji refers specifically to the green leafy vegetable — the leaves and tender stems. The rajgira used for fasting foods and laddoos is the grain seed of the same plant, which is processed separately. Both are nutritious but used differently in the kitchen.

How does organic rajgira bhaji compare to spinach nutritionally?

Organic rajgira bhaji has a higher iron content than spinach per gram, and its iron is accompanied by vitamin C naturally present in the leaf — which improves iron absorption significantly. It also provides more protein than spinach per gram and has a more robust, less oxalic flavour that makes it easier to cook in larger quantities.

Can rajgira bhaji be eaten by people with anaemia?

Yes — amaranth greens are among the most recommended dietary additions for iron-deficiency anaemia because of their high plant-based iron content combined with natural vitamin C, which enhances iron absorption. Eating rajgira bhaji regularly with a squeeze of lemon maximises this benefit further.

Why does Prakritii's organic rajgira bhaji look darker and more vibrant than market varieties?

The deeper colour of organic rajgira comes from healthier, more mineral-rich soil and the absence of chemical inputs that disrupt the plant's natural pigment production. Darker green leafy vegetables consistently indicate higher chlorophyll and nutrient content — the colour is not cosmetic, it is nutritional.
