Bachali kura - Malabar Spinach. Malabar spinach is high in Vitamin A (100 grams contains roughly 8,000 units), Vitamin C, iron, and calcium.
The leaves are a good source of vitamins A and C, calcium, potassium and iron, with many other vitamins and minerals in lower quantities. It has over 3 times more vitamin C than spinach, and over 1.5 times more vitamin A than kale.
Malabar spinach is unrelated to true spinach, but grows in hot weather when true spinach does poorly. Many people like to eat spinach throughout the year but true spinach (Spinacea oleracea) doesn't grow well in hot weather. There are a number of other plants that are grown to use as a spinach substitute.
The young leaves can be eaten raw mixed in a green salad, and steamed or boiled to be used like cooked spinach. Because of the mucilagenous nature, it can also be used to thicken soups and stews. Some people do not like the somewhat slimy texture of the cooked leaves (reminiscent of cooked okra).
