What is Gundruk?
Gundruk is a traditional fermented leafy vegetable dish originating from Nepal and other South Asian regions. Made by fermenting chopped mustard greens, radish leaves, or cauliflower leaves, gundruk undergoes a process that imparts a distinctive tangy flavor. After wilting and packing the greens into containers, the fermentation process takes place, resulting in a preserved condiment with a unique sour taste. Gundruk is widely used in Nepali cuisine to enhance the flavor of soups, stews, and pickles. Its preparation holds cultural significance, often being made in abundance during the harvest season. Beyond its culinary appeal, gundruk is recognized for potential health benefits associated with fermented foods, contributing to gut health through the presence of probiotics. This traditional dish reflects the rich cultural heritage and culinary diversity of Nepal and South Asia.
