This review explores the nutritional profiles of leafy vegetables commonly used in Indian cuisine, emphasizing their significance in promoting human health and well-being. Leafy greens play a pivotal role in traditional Indian diets, contributing essential vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. The low calorific value of leafy vegetables makes them ideal for human weight balance. The good nutrition profile of leafy vegetables are beneficial in reducing the risk of major diseases such as cardiovascular and cancer. Anti nutritional factors are chemical compounds in plant tissues, which deter the absorption of nutrients in humans. From all the findings it was suggested that consumption of leafy vegetables fulfills the nutrition reqiurements and avoid from malnutrition.
