Rae Bareli Various types of vegetables are available in the market. People buy them as per their choice. But there are some vegetables about which people do not know about. Today we are going to tell you about one such vegetable, whose name you may be shocked to hear. Because this vegetable was first considered wild vegetable. However, according to Hindu religious belief, eating this vegetable on the day of Diwali is considered auspicious.

Yes, we are talking about Suran, who once considered a wild vegetable. Which some people also know by the name of Jimikand. Earlier people used to plant Suran on the back of the house or on the ground lying in vain, which was eaten from the ground on the festival. But now, farmers are cultivating Suran on a large scale. Jimikand’s vegetable is very tasty to eat and for vegetarian people, this vegetable is no less than mutton.

Treasure of these nutrients
Jimikand is considered very beneficial for our health. It contains abundant nutrients like carbohydrates, fiber, protein, potassium, magnesium and phosphorus. It also contains small amounts of vitamin C and vitamin B6. At the same time, knowledgeables of Ayurveda also use it as a medicine.

Dr. Smita Srivastava says that Suran’s vegetable has a high amount of fiber, which helps in the body’s digestion and helps in reducing obesity.
