Organic Spinach (Palak)

Conventional spinach is among the most heavily pesticide-sprayed leafy vegetables in Indian agriculture. Market surveys have consistently found high pesticide residue loads on non-organic palak. Organic spinach from Prakritii is grown without any synthetic pesticides, ensuring that every bunch is completely residue-free.

Cooking spinach reduces some heat-sensitive nutrients like vitamin C, but it also increases the bioavailability of others — including iron, calcium, and beta-carotene — by breaking down oxalic acid that would otherwise bind to these minerals and prevent absorption. Lightly cooking spinach rather than eating it raw often delivers better mineral absorption overall.

Prakritii Organics offers doorstep delivery of fresh organic spinach across Mumbai and Navi Mumbai. Delivery schedules and availability can be checked on the Prakritii website. Orders are fulfilled with freshly harvested produce to ensure maximum leaf quality.

Yes, for most people. Spinach is exceptionally nutritious and suitable for daily consumption. People with a history of kidney stones should moderate their intake because spinach is high in oxalates. Everyone else can eat spinach daily without concern as part of a varied diet.

Fill a large bowl with cold water, submerge the spinach leaves, and swirl gently. Lift the leaves out (leaving any grit at the bottom), drain, and repeat once more. Organic spinach does not need the multiple rigorous washings often required for conventional produce carrying chemical residues — a two-rinse wash in cold water is entirely sufficient.
