Bachhali, also known as Malabar Spinach / Basella Alba, is a nutritious and fast-growing leafy vegetable popular in South Indian kitchens. Known for its thick, fleshy green leaves, it is rich in iron, vitamins A & C, calcium, and fiber.
At Seed Vanam, we provide organically grown, non-GMO Bachhali seeds, carefully sourced from trusted farmers and tested for high germination. These seeds ensure vigorous growth, lush leaves, and continuous harvests, making them ideal for balcony gardens, home pots, and small farms.
Bachhali thrives in warm climates and grows as a climbing vine, producing leaves for months when harvested regularly. Its tender leaves are used in dals, curries, stir-fries, and traditional recipes.
