Description

Sorisha Shak (also known as Mustard Leaves) is a leafy green vegetable that comes from the same plant family as mustard seeds. These leaves are tender, with a slightly peppery and bitter flavor, and they are widely used in South Asian and Southeast Asian cuisines. Sorisha Shak is known for its nutritional benefits, as it is rich in vitamins, minerals, and fiber. Here are two types or descriptions of Sorisha Shak:

1. Fresh Sorisha Shak (Raw – KG)

• Description: Fresh Sorisha Shak has vibrant, dark green leaves with jagged edges. The leaves are tender but slightly fibrous, and the taste is mild with a slight bitterness and peppery kick, characteristic of mustard greens. These leaves are often harvested fresh and can vary in size from small tender leaves to larger, more mature leaves.

• Uses: Fresh Sorisha Shak is often used in salads, sandwiches, or wraps when young and tender. The leaves can be finely chopped and used as an ingredient in raitas or chaats. In Indian cuisine, fresh mustard leaves are often cooked in dal (lentil dishes) or vegetable curries. They can be added to soup for added texture and flavor or mixed with other greens like spinach or fenugreek. Fresh mustard leaves can also be used in stuffed parathas or puran poli for a flavorful twist.
