Spinach

Khansland Spinach is organically grown deshi palong shak — traditional Bangladeshi spinach varieties cultivated in cool-weather growing conditions that produce leaves with the deep green colour, firm texture, and rich, iron-forward flavour that hot-weather spinach lacks. Winter spinach has a concentration of chlorophyll, iron, folate, and vitamin K that is significantly higher than spinach grown under stress conditions.

The flavour of properly grown palong shak is notably different from commercially available spinach — it has a clean, slightly mineral, iron-rich taste without the sharp oxalic acid bitterness that overripe or improperly grown spinach carries. This clean flavour makes it versatile across a wide range of preparations, from the simplest quick stir-fry to elaborate slow-cooked preparations.

In Bengali cooking, palong shak is most beautifully expressed in a simple preparation: leaves wilted in hot mustard oil with garlic, dried red chili, and a pinch of turmeric, finished with a squeeze of lemon or lime. The result is a vibrant green, deeply flavoured preparation that can be on the table in five minutes and provides an extraordinary nutritional punch alongside its rice-based accompaniment. Our spinach is harvested in the early morning, bundled fresh, and delivered same-day.
