It has a slightly bitter taste and soft texture when cooked, making it perfect for dishes like keerai masiyal, kootu, and soups. Rich in iron, calcium, vitamins, and antioxidants, manathakkali keerai helps improve digestion, supports liver health, and is known for its natural healing properties, especially for ulcers. Including this nutritious green in your diet promotes overall health and wellness.
