Pui Shak (Pui Spinach)

Pui spinach, a popular tropical leafy green vegetable commonly cultivated in home gardens, offers several health benefits. This creeping vine plant has glossy, broad, deep green leaves that are thick and mucilaginous. Pui spinach is rich in vitamins A and C, as well as iron and calcium. Despite being low in calories, it provides a good protein-to-calorie ratio and is abundant in soluble fiber. The fleshy leaves of pui spinach are particularly high in a non-starch polysaccharide called mucilage. Alongside the regular fiber found in its stem and leaves, mucilage aids in smooth digestion, reduces cholesterol absorption, and helps prevent bowel movement problems.

Regarding the weight, the minimum weight of pui spinach typically ranges from 650 to 700 grams. পুই শাক / পুঁইশাক
