Can palak be eaten ?
Yes, palak (spinach) can generally be eaten in Jain food practice.
In Jainism, leafy vegetables are allowed, while root vegetables like onion, garlic, potato, carrot, beetroot, etc. are avoided because they involve harming more living beings in the plant and soil.
So palak is acceptable for household Jain diet. However, in certain fasts, vows, or strict observances, some people may avoid it depending on their practice and tradition.
