India, Jan. 20 -- In an era dominated by 10-step haircare routines and costly chemical treatments, celebrity nutritionist Rujuta Diwekar, known for working with actor Kareena Kapoor Khan, took to Instagram on Monday to reveal that a humble, often-overlooked kitchen staple could be the key to tackling hair thinning and premature greying: shepu. Shepu, or dill leaves, is a highly nutritious green leafy vegetable popular in Indian cuisine, particularly in Maharashtra. It has a distinct, aromatic, and slightly pungent flavour, often paired with lentils or potatoes to balance its taste. While social media is flooded with trendy 'superfoods' like kale and matcha, Rujuta highlighted that shepu has been a nutritional powerhouse in traditional Indian diets for centuries, especially in post-natal care. "Eat shepu. It's the green vegetable that Reels don't show you. Everything you need is not found online, most of it is growing in the fields. Disconnect from tech overload and connect with farms," she shared. According to Rujuta, shepu is rich in flavonoids, vitamins, and minerals that help prevent hair fall and damage. It is also known to reduce stress and improve sleep quality - both major triggers for hair loss - while helping fight fatigue and boost overall vitality. She explained, "It's known to improve sleep, reduce stress, boost energy, and prevent hair fall and damage. Shepu, like the greens in this season that grow in your region, has flavonoids, vitamins, and minerals that improve hair and overall health." Nutrition isn't just about what you eat, it's also about how you eat it. To maximise the absorption of shepu's nutrients for hair health, Rujuta suggested pairing it with foods rich in vitamin C and B12. Sharing her personal 'game-changer' meal for healthy hair, she wrote: "My go-to is shepu paratha with amla achaar (pickle) and dahi (curd) - game changer for good hair days!" HTC...
