Red Gongura (Roselle Leaves) – Description

Red Gongura, also known as Roselle leaves, is a vibrant, tangy leafy green widely used in South Indian cuisine, especially in Andhra and Telangana. The deep reddish-purple leaves have a bold, sour flavor that adds a unique zing to dishes.

Rich in vitamin C, iron, calcium, and antioxidants, red gongura is valued both for its taste and health benefits. It is commonly used to prepare gongura pachadi (chutney), dals, curries, pickles, and flavored rice. Traditionally, it is also known to aid digestion, boost immunity, and help regulate blood sugar levels.

Fresh red gongura leaves are tender, aromatic, and best enjoyed when cooked lightly to retain their color and nutritional value.
