During the monsoon season, the increased humidity and rainfall can affect the quality and safety of certain leafy vegetables. Here are five leafy vegetables to avoid during the rainy season.

 

Spinach (Palak) 

 During the monsoon, spinach can become contaminated and cause gastric problems. Additionally, too much moisture could build up there and encourage the growth of bacteria.

 Mustard Greens (Sarson)

 When mustard greens are too damp, they can become rigid and fibrous, which could affect digestion and even cause discomfort in the stomach.

Collard Greens

 These can become too tough and develop a bitter taste due to high moisture levels. The excess water can also contribute to a higher risk of spoilage.

 Beet Greens

When there is a lot of humidity, beetroot greens can turn soggy and slimy. Improper storage might result in digestive problems and a higher chance of contamination.

Coffee

Who does not love hot coffee in chilly winters? Make it even more merry by adding some holiday-themed syrups, whipped cream, or chocolate shavings. A pleasant, warm cup of coffee might help you relax throughout the winter.
