Chakravarthy Keerai Seeds – Nutritious Desi Greens for Daily Cooking

Chakravarthy Keerai is a traditional Indian green leafy vegetable valued for its medicinal properties and rich iron content. This desi variety grows well in most Indian climates and can be cultivated year-round with adequate sunlight and moisture. It is suitable for both rural and urban home gardens.

Sow the seeds directly into well-drained, fertile soil enriched with organic compost.

Prepare the soil by loosening it and removing weeds. Sow the seeds about a quarter to half an inch deep, keeping 6 to 8 inches spacing between plants. Lightly cover with soil and water gently. Germination takes about 5 to 8 days depending on weather conditions.

Water regularly to keep the soil moist but not soggy. Apply organic manure every 15 to 20 days to promote healthy growth. Tender leaves can be harvested from 25 to 30 days onwards. Regular harvesting of outer leaves encourages regrowth and prolonged yield.

Chakravarthy Keerai can be grown in pots, grow bags, or open soil. It is ideal for Indian households looking to grow native greens for everyday cooking and health benefits
