Setfati is a leafy green eaten as a vegetable. Its name and culinary use may be local, so ask the seller how it is usually prepared if you are unfamiliar with the plant.
Wash and chop Setfati, then sauté it briefly or cook it with other vegetables. As with many leafy greens, shorter cooking keeps the leaves from becoming overly soft.
Yes, Setfati can be eaten raw if the leaves are fresh and thoroughly washed. If you are trying this local green for the first time, start with a small amount; cooking softens the leaves.
Rinse Setfati leaves individually under running water and check for soil between them. Trim any tough stems, then dry and chop the leaves for cooking or salad.
The flavor can vary with the plant and where it is grown, so there is no reliable single description for every Setfati. Try a small cooked portion first; sautéing it briefly makes its natural flavor easier to assess.
Setfati works in cooked vegetable dishes, soups, or omelets. For a simple first preparation, sauté it briefly with onion and oil, then taste it before adding stronger seasonings.
Keep Setfati unwashed in the refrigerator’s crisper drawer, loosely wrapped so excess moisture does not collect around the leaves. Wash it just before use, and remove any leaves that start to spoil.
Yes. Frozen Setfati may become softer after thawing, so it is better suited to cooked dishes than salads. Wash and dry the leaves, portion them, and freeze them in an airtight container.
Choose Setfati with leaves that look firm and fresh, and avoid yellowed, bruised, or slimy leaves. If it is sold in a bunch, check the leaves inside as well as those visible on the outside.
Setfati can be included regularly as one of several vegetables in a varied diet. If eating a large amount of leafy vegetables causes you gas or bloating, reduce the portion and see how you feel.

Setfati is a leafy green eaten as a vegetable. Its name may be unfamiliar in many kitchens, and local uses can vary, so treat it much like other cooking greens: wash the leaves well, chop them, and add them to a dish. Tender leaves can also be tried raw, while sturdier ones are better briefly sautéed or stirred into soup. Onion, garlic and a little oil make a simple, adaptable preparation.
It is a light choice, with 23 calories and 2.2 g of fibre per 100 g. Serve it alongside grains, eggs or beans, or fold it into a mixed-vegetable meal. For a lighter dish, use just enough oil to soften the leaves.
Very high
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
