If there’s one leafy green that truly earns its place in the Indian middle-class fridge, it’s palak. Affordable, versatile, nutrient-packed, and perfect for quick weekday meals: palak (spinach) is that quiet kitchen hero we often take for granted. Whether you're making something comforting, something fancy, or something your mom will approve of, palak always steps up.

And as winter settles over Noida and Greater Noida, it’s officially palak season — the time when every household starts thinking: Palak paneer banayein? Soup? Paratha? Good-quality, fresh palak becomes the real game changer, and that’s where FarmLokal steps in.
