Index of Green Leafy Vegetables

Index of Green Leafy Vegetables - Hariyo Saag-Paat Haru - (हरियो साग-पात हरु)

The following list of Hariyo Saag in Nepali-English, will further help you to understand more on the vegetables of Nepal.  I am so glad to be able to compile the list and present to you in my blog. In the following list as well as in my previous blog on "the visual guide to the greens," I have not been able to match some of the English name of the greens. I wish I had a good plant-identification guide book about Nepali greens.  I trust the index is useful to you, but please let me know in the comment section of the blog what I missed.  I would deeply appreciate your feedback - so that I can revise and make corrections.

    1. The mild and delicate "baby spinach leaf" is great for salad use - when I was capturing the pictures of so many green leafy vegetables from the local vegetable venders, I did not see any baby spinach for sale. I am sure they are available in Nepal.
