Abstract

Amaranthus, commonly known as amaranth it is incredibly nourishing, abundant in calcium, iron, magnesium and potassium as well as vitamins (A, C and folate), fiber, protein. It is a significant supplement to diets because it offers a balanced array of critical nutrients, particularly in areas where malnutrition is common. It might improve heart health by lowering inflammation, cholesterol, and blood pressure. Its high fiber content also helps to maintain digestive health and may help with weight management. This study was carried out to estimate proximate benefit cost ratio of greens cultivated in a barren land of 0.2acre in which five types of green vegetables were cultivated. The benefit cost ratio appeared to be 1:1.44 which denoted that the production of green vegetables in a barren land was beneficial and profitable. We summarized the chemical makeup of spinach, health benefits, its relative safety, and dietary inclusion in this review article, which was based on data compiled from our labs and those of other researchers.
