Wild greens and foraged food

Familiar wild greens of Bengal and how to forage safely.

2 Oct 2026 · 1 min read

Many greens — thankuni, helencha, kolmi, shushni, dhekishak, kochu and pui — grow along ponds, ditches and around homes.

  • Never eat anything you are not 100% sure of; learn from local elders.
  • Don’t pick near roadsides or chemically treated land.
  • Don’t strip a patch — let it regrow.
  • Wash well and cook.
A wrong plant can be poisonous. This post is not an identification guide.
